When I first brought him home my hamster had a bar chewing problem. I did try the kitchen roll method but he just moved to chewing the uncovered bars and I couldn’t cover them all. He did eventually grow out of it.

I’d say your best option would be to put her in a tank or bin cage.

How big is her wheel? If it’s not big enough that could be why she isn’t using it. And if she has a wheel that’s big enough for her to run on that will alleviate boredom and consequently bar chewing. She should have a 12” wheel. Silent runners are great because they are, well, silent.
