Bath time! Fill a bathtub full of 75-80F water (just a smidge warmer than room temp, NOT ACTUALLY WARM TO THE TOUCH) make him soak/swim in it for a good 5-10 minutes. If that doesn't work, add three drops of unscented dish soap. I don't like to use soap at all with snakes because of the way they absorb oils through their scales, but dish soap is what my plant books recommend for washing/dusting houseplants.
If he still stinks after that, yeah, you're kind of stuck with it for a while. And be glad they do shed.
