снова и снова стараясь (более-менее) объяснить ее
This is the meaning!
Постоянно делаются попытки объяснить, дать толкование.
стараясь более-менее объяянять ее
ADV after (emphasis) You can use away to emphasize a continuous or repeated action. He would often be working away on his word processor late into the night... She sighed, her heart banging away against her ribs as she opened the door.

... Бесконечные обсуждения... идут с целью либо смягчить ее принципы, либо снова и снова попытаться более-менее ее обяснить
Таким образом, значение away здесь -a continuous or repeated action постоянные, либо повторяющиеся действия.

An example of such kind of usage (expressing a continuous action) from classics:
"- Are you working, Bertie?
- Working?
- The last time we met, Mr. Wooster, you told me you were thinking about getting a job.
- Oh yes. Well, still thinking. Still thinking away."
