Accepting only 1 occurrence of a meeting

For accepting 1 of 5 meetings, tentatively accepting the series, and then once the meeting is saved to calendar, accepting the occurrence and declining rest of the meetings makes sense. But if it is a daily meeting spanning more than a month, it would be better to decline the meeting and emailing the meeting organizer to forward just one occurrence to you.

PS: I tried tentatively accepting the series invite, forwarding one of the occurrences to myself, rejecting the series and accepting my occurrence-invite email, but it did not work out.
