Time??
We got an African Grey at 4 years old. It took me a year before I could pet her. My wife could pet right away. I could tell she liked me because she liked me to hold her, but she bit every chance she got. Over time she decided I could pet her. She still bites if I reach, before she is ready, when she is in her cage. I think it may be a reflex to strick to defend her nest.
If your bird was abused, I wouldn't blame it for taking time to drop its defenses. Hang in there.
