 If you're willing to put the time & effort into it, the thing I would do would be to open the door to his cage & just sit by the cage talking to him. Maybe play with a toy or toy outside the cage to get his interest & see if he will come out on his own. You'll have to do this for several days. Maybe put some treats (millet, etc) just outside the cage & see if he'll come out on his own. If he does, don't try to grab him or make him step up, he has to learn that it's ok to be outside the cage first. Then you can try to get him interested in being with you. You're lucky in the sense that he is an only birds, so it should be a little easier than if he had a pal to bond with. Was he tame at all when you got him? Can you give us a bit more detail on his behavior from when you got him to now?

As Bonnie & Jan say, don't give up. It can be very hard & take some time, but most birds will come around eventually.
