No, that's the point: The game continues until a player reaches 6 wins. If you're 5-0 down, you can either resign or play for 6 wins. Draws don't help you.

But if you keep forcing draws, it doesn't let your opponent reach 6 wins.

Sure, but it can't be your strategy, since then you can never win either.
