I’ve used plain ol’ cotton balls for this with success. None of my dragons ever tried to eat it, and if they happen to get soiled with cricket dust or anything else, they can be easily discarded and replaced.
Honestly, don’t force it. You will just cause your beardie to associate you with a stressful situation. My vet discourages harnesses and carriers because they cause irritation to the skin.
