It's a bit of a copout but one that you are going to have to deal with. Tell him re-tracking isn't an option if it's not an option and tell him we have to get on with getting this done so you can get to playing out which is more important.
The first thing to do is make sure he has an amazing mix in his headphones to play to. Spend extra time getting him the "exact" mix he is wanting and he can hear it. Make sure the parts that he is latching onto are loud. Another thing I've done in the past is find the parts where he needs more metronome and automate the volume of the metronome and turn it down when he can stay with the instruments better.
And in a pinch, get him a prostitute, tell him you paid for 3 hours with the hooker and she's waiting until you finish the part.
