One very common issue with kick-bass is the lows being too loud, for either or both. Use only one band for the lows (bypass all others) and apply sidechain (it works exactly like the sidechain compression you know, it's just applied to a selective frequency band). Some multiband compressors have sidechain capabilities, like Waves' C6 sidechain. You can also use a plugin to do it for you. You can divide the bass in two bands, send the bands to two different tracks, and process the lows and highs separately. You sidechain compress only the lows of the bass. One solution here is to use sidechain compression only in the conflicting band, in the band that the kick and bass fight the most for, and leave the higher frequencies of the bass intact. I see that you tried sidechain compression, but it ducked the bass too much. I'll try to review some of the most common. It's very hard to give specific mixing advice since there are many different possible reasons behind any given problem. I suggest you to do this so we can give you a more significant answer. Otherwise we are stuck around a thousand possibilities of who knows what is your problem. That way we can solve the issue and tell you how we did it and what you probably were doing wrong. One thing that would help us help you a lot better is you posting your kick+bass mix, and the kick and bass separately.
