The advice for anything you get stuck on is slow it down and isolation.

Do it painfully slow, so slow that you don’t make a mistake. When you can do it 3 times in a row without a mistake speed it up. I use a metronome and will speed it up 5 or 10 bpm at a time. If I make 3 mistakes in a row I slow it down by 5 or 10 bpm. Keep it slow. By doing it slow and concentrating it tells the brain that this is important and it will start remembering it.

Isolation. When learning a strumming pattern ignore the fretting hand and focus on just the strumming hand. The brain can’t learn 2 things at once, so isolate the 1 thing you are trying to learn.
