I had the similar problems with the protein expression but I tried heat shock at 42 degree C for 25 mins before induction with IPTG and approximately 60% of the overexpressed protein become soluble. The explanation for this is the upregulation of heat shock proteins that may help in the refolding of the overexpressed proteins. So it is woth to try.
