I'm at my wit's end with him ... I've tried bribing him with yummy veggies, holding him so he feels secure, wrapping him in a towel, and I've tried that "nail cutting hold" from Guinea Lynx, but his self-righting mechanism just kicks in.
Whenever I try to get anywhere near his feet he snaps at my fingers and scratches them with his teeth. I've tried having somebody else hold his head away from me but he just bites them too.

I have no idea what to try next. :(

Some pigs just hate it. You can always take him to the vet to have them help you.
