Just persevere really. He'll calm down in time as soon as he realises you aren't a threat.

Handle quite often, but not for long. Don't be afraid as corn bites don't hurt. Once he gets used to your scent he'll be alright.

Put a sock in his viv so he has more chance to get used to your smell and handle wearing gloves or through a pillow case for a while if it's easier.
