Since you tried the others, try beating it with a baseball bat. Seriously, it will break down some of the stiffness. Then you can put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and palm, then tie it up a put in a bucket of water. Let it soak for a while, then take it out and let it dry, still tied up. It should form a nice pocket for you. Then oil it to keep it nice condition. This is just one idea. I'm sure others have their own.

id say that putting a ball in it and rolling the car over it actually doesnt help as much as youd think but it does help! i found this foam that doesnt damage the leather and all you do is spray it in the pocket, put the ball in there, rubberband it, and bake it! and ya that thatll definately give you a good start to breaking it in. i think you should just try that, the car thing, and definately just playing catch with it and stuff...i wouldnt put in water though that sounds like itll ruin the leather. but i broke mine in within a few days after i used the foam, the car, and playing catch with itjust a tip - make sure the when you close the mitt (without a ball in it) the upper tips of the mitt line of correctly - baseball mitt's fingers should not be parallel or folded evenly
