Illustrator CS6: deleting unwanted items outside a clipping path

hi everyone,

 

i'm creating logo employs stippled texture (a half-tone) in various sections of objects comprising logo. i've placed stipple want it, created clipping path capture area. have these other points don't need want delete.

 

is there anyway short of releasing clipping path, manually delete unwanted sections of stipple , re-apply clipping path again? 'applying mask' in photoshop.

you can enter isolation mode without releasing clipping mask. beyond don't see way automatically unless want make stipples compound path or group , use pathfinder operations. unfortunately ai doesn not have inside/ outside detection these kinds of scenarios wouzld allow select separate objects in fashion...
