They can act stubborn at times too and hold out for their favorites. As long as he isn't losing much weight he should be OK while holding out on food. If he's going after worms, try cutting zucchini or yellow squash into small worm shapes and offer them by wiggling them a bit with your finger and see how that goes over. My dragon loves that.
My girl gets so incredibly stubborn when she’s shedding. She won’t wanna touch her greens but if I offer wax worms or meal worms she goes crazy. If he’s comfortable eating from your hand try putting some greens in your hand and offering that way. My girl will go for it sometimes and other times wont but it’s worth a shot. I usually just have to wait for her to bust out of her shed and she’s back to normal lol
