Well, the first thing is just get him used to new people walking by. Once he is used to that, reach in with some sort of food (mealworm, silkworm, waxworm, veggies if he eats them) and don't attempt to grab him. Once he comes up to you, give him the food item in your hand. Once he runs up to you,reach your hand underneath his belly, sliding your hand carefully underneath him. Make sure you support him completely. Drip some warm water onto him. He will soon love to be held if you are persistent and patient.
