There's convincing him on this?
He doesn't think there's convincing him on this (He doesn't think he can be convinced on this matter).
Is that phrase idiomatic? Grammatical? Is there a better expression?

pyrhana Is that phrase idiomatic? No, "there's convincing (someone)" does not work, at least not for me. However, it is possible to say "He doesn't think there's any convincing him on this".
