Some of them are just not made to thrive. There may be something going on intermally or otherwise that you just can't see. That said, have you tried holding him and poking the mealworm into the side of his mouth. If he's gotten really weak from not eating, try dipping your finger in some water and putting a drop on his nose so he can lick it off. That will hydrate him. Then get some chicken baby food and try dabbing some on his nose for him to lick off. If he'll take that, maybe he can work up to mealworms.
