I have given up and just replaced a rear caliper that had a sluggish ebrake lever. But you can try to take the thing apart. I'm assuming you took the small bolt off that covers the allen head adjusting screw. If not take out the bolt and back out the allen.
If you've done that already with no luck, I believe you have to get the piston out to access the adjusting mechanism. I would try compressed air in the brakeline hole. Point the piston at a towel so it doesn't get bodged rolling around the garage floor. I think new seals might be available.
You also don't want to muscle the piston out with a big pliers, unless you are going to get a rebuilt caliper anyway and just want to tear the darn thing apart.
