Grade 1 view of the cords but cant intubate?

This has happened a couple of times during residency. I know about slightly removing the stylet and then trying to pass the tube and also rotating the tube clockwise. Sometimes this fails as well. Does anyone have any additional tips to try and pass the tube before jumping to a smaller one?
