Download manually .deb file and use
dpkg -i libc6-VERSION.deb
to install it.
P.S. I assume that you understand implications of such downgrade. If
you have installed any packages that was compiled with new libc then
they all be breaked. Check first that no important packages uses new
libc6. If some important packages uses it downgrade them first.
