Have the bike on the side stand.
Have the steering to the left.
Operate the front brake slow and gentle.
With res' cap off you might see air bubbles escaping.
Keep going until they stop.

Other things to try.
Cable tie lever over night.
Reverse bleed by removing a little fluid from reservoir and filling from caliper bleed screw.

Swear a lot....

I just recently did my front brakes and couldn't get to bleed. I put a damp cloth under the banjo at resoviour pumped five times hold in crack banjo and it should let the air out do this couple times till fluid comes out wash any brake fluid off quickly then proceed to bleed at nipples
