Put the bleed cup on with a little fluid in and repeatedly squeeze the lever, tap the hoses and force the bubbles to the top. If that fails you can tie the levers down for a while but a couple of hours is usually plenty rather than days

This, key is to not rush it. Take your time and have the hose/caliper pointing up/down when you snip/undo the hose.
With drop bars, I find what +lynx mentioned about zip tie/toe strap(that's what I use) overnight really helps if a full bleed still doesn't give you your desired bite.
I've also found reusing olive and barbs are fine.

What does this look like? Pushing the pistons in to force any air up in to the reservoir?
