i had the same problem, caused by poor headphone isolation. Many headphones are marketed for their isolation abilities - keeping outside sound out, but what you're looking for are headphones that keep the inside sound in. I got a pair of Sennheiser HD280s - problem solved.

Bring up the click track solo.
Dump the EQ with as narrow of an Q as you've got.
Sweep it until you've eliminated as much of the click as you can.
Note the settings.
Dupe the click track with the phase inverted.
Add it in using the reverse of the swept narrow Q, in small bits until you can eliminate as much as possible.
You proobably can't eliminate ALL of it, but you can sure kill enough to get a decent mix.
Good luck,

Could you elaborate just a bit? When you are recording let's say an acoustic guitar open-mic'd, I would assume you mean you are playing a click track through the headphones to follow along. However, where is the bleed coming? Is the sound from the headphones so loud that the acoustic guitar mic is picking it up? In that case, perhaps a visual metronome would be more the ticket. I don't know how common they are, but I've seen metronomes that have both sound and a blinking light, and you can enable both, or just one or the other. I can't think of any other situations off the top of my head, so I'll be lookin for your reply!
