My personal method would be to outfit a 7 dwarf military squad with the best gear possible, and not bring any supplies (or make one of them use a pick as their weapon). If they survive, they can use the reclaimed structures and dig a farm into the surface soil to support themselves until migrants arrive. You say you've already tried five times to reclaim it though, so I suspect you've attempted this method.

Alternatively, select four dwarves on embark that you want to survive, and give only them equipment and skills. The other three are to be put into individual squads immediately after embarking and ordered to separate locations as necessary to split up the goblins, while the four fighters cut them down.
