I'm going through this same thing, but with the poop. It's ALWAYS poop for me. Sigh.
If it's weather conducive, I highly recommend letting Henry run around buck naked. This is actually what got Tater to use the toilet. He's been pretty good about peeing in the potty with big boy pants on. I also started setting an alarm on my phone to remind ME to take him into the bathroom every so many minutes - regardless of his actual need to go. The draw back of this is that he sometimes won't remember to tell me he has to go and expects to be led to the potty at certain intervals.
I feel for your frustration. I really do. My Aunt Stodgey had the WORST time with Andrew who started using his bathroom lack of habits as a tool for manipulation. It doesn't sound like Henry is that sort of kid though.
Good luck. This is probably one of the most frustrating things to go through so far - Tater is STILL not potty trained either. Don't sweat it. It will happen.
UGH. I'm sorry this is such a struggle! My nephew Gavin did the exact same thing except that he graspoed all the concepts completely, he just didn't WANT to do it. He finally went head-first into training on his 3rd birthday - and I've got a lot of friends with boys who say they waitied until 3ish. Not that it HELPS any, I know - no practical advice from me I'm afraid. But oh yes I'll be kocking on your door when I'm going through this hell a few months down the road. Hugs to you and the pee-bot.
