One last ditch effort to try is to use a commercial stain like General Finishes Water Based Stain, or Gel Stain. While I have not used them (yet), but I have done something similar with their dye stain and a water based gel stain from another mfg (which doesn't have your color). Unlike dye stains, these are designed to go on over other stains and finishes. It might be worth a try if you really want a stain finish. Otherwise, I'll add my voice to the chorus. I have *one* good stain result using the approach above. My other stain attempts ended up in solid colors. Sometimes quite nice solid colors, so I am not complaining.

Elsewhere I have mentioned this... I have a fender guitar from the 1960s with an Antigua finish, which is sort of a bizarre solid-color sunburst. This finish was developed, to make a long story short, to cover up a botched stain job on a bunch of guitars where the binding glue reacted with the finish. This has often lead me to wonder... If you take the finish off some of the cool Fender Daphne blue, SeaFoam green or Fiesta red bodies would you find a botched stain job? I bet you would on some of them...
