These are some suggestions I have read on this and other forums with this situation. Never used them myself:



The greater the surface area of the water the faster it will warm and evaporate. You could try using larger, shallower pans of water to increase the surface area. I bet you are space limited though?



Adding wet sponges to sit around (not on) the eggs to add more humidity.



Misting.



Placing one or two damp paper towels over the eggs will allow them to absorb water directly, but change the towels at least once a day to avoid molding and stop applying them when the dimpling has stopped.
