You could mic the clean, but I think at such a low volume you wouldn't be getting any real tone out of it. Again this is my opinion, and I am new 5e3 user.
If you know how to use the volume control on your guitar and vary your touch, you can get a LOT of clean out of a 5E3. If all you do is dime and forget, you're correct, you won't get any clean.
