J'ai le m=EAme probl=E8me, et j'essaye de prononcer mes r plus en avant
(comme [r] ou qqc) dans ces combinaisons. Une autre solution serait,
bien s=FBr, d'ins=E9rer une voyelle tampon entre r et x. (=C7a marche pas
tr=E8s bien pour moi ; je suis germanophone, et je trouve
extraordinairement difficile de diff=E9rencier [i], [@], [I], [Y].)

I have the same problem. I try to pronounce my r's more frontally (as
[r] or something) in those clusters. Another solution would be, of
course, the insertion of a buffer vowel between the r and the x.
(Which doesn't work very well for me; I'm German-speaking, and I find
it extraordinarily hard to differentiate [i], [@], [I], [Y].)
