It might be worth taking a tube out and seeing if the tyre will seat using the track pump, with the valve core out, assuming the rim is taped. Be liberal with very soapy water on the beads.
If it doesn’t, then you will know neither track pump nor compressor will work.
If they don’t work then whichever you choose to use will need some sort of reserve tank to produce a blast.
The idea being to get all this sorted before any sealant is involved.
