I had a female Russian who would bite at first & I found if I buried my fingers in substrate or just put them under something she would walk on to my hand without biting so that might be something else to try.
Is there anything in her environment that might be unsettling her? Other animals, noise etc?
It may seem like she'll never be tamed right now but they will often suddenly make a leap forward in the taming process just when you least expect it so do give it more time.

Yeah maybe I’ll try the burying under substrate method ! Tbh I’m with you on the glove method, it wouldn’t really do anything besides get her used to the motion of being picked up. Nope there’s nothing really besides the normal noises and sounds of any average house - no other animals and she’s in a quiet room all day with just natural light.
