If the nail file works, try lining the inside of a jar with course sandpaper. Fill the jar about one quarter full and shake for half a minute or so. It's a lot quicker than the nail file.

Quoting TxBeeFarmer <TxBeeFarmer AT HotPop.com>:

Do you think soaking the seeds for a couple of days would help. I soak
things like okra to get them going quicker.

Just a thought.

I direct sowed them when I lived in Moab, Utah. I notched each seed
with a small nailfile before sewing. They came up in about a week.
