The problem isn't to get him to admit it, the problem is to get him to shut up about it. As Wikipedia says "Ridley Scott is adamant that Deckard is a replicant." No idea where you got the idea that it took him decades to own up to it (he may have adopted an enigmatic silence in some interviews, but it was always his stated intention, as documented in Future Noir).

I agree with Crunchy (and Hampton Fancher, who originated the idea in the first place) that it would have been better to leave the idea that Deckard might also be a replicant as a metaphor, or at least ambiguous. In the director's cut it's pretty definitive, even if you have to pay close attention to notice it.
