Scruffing him is the easiest way of keeping him still (and it does not hurt him, though you will want to make sure his cheek pouches are empty first) Just take as much skin as possible from the back of the neck and use that to hold him up, just like with cats. Here is a picture (5th one down) of it being done.

Hi im a hamster breeder, hes going to struggle you, possibly bite you. But you are not hurting him try doing one paw at a time like do one and put him back in bed for awhile then do the other foot but if you dont cut them they could grown into his foot or get busted off you know how bad that hurts when you do it im sure you wouldnt want that for the hammie. just dont cut the nail to far back. but you have cats you should know how to cut nails.

He's not hurt, only afraid. For mine, I take some vegetable and give him while cutting, it usually works as food takes all his attention and concentration :)

Maybe take it to a vet, or a groomer.
