I don't see how White has the slightest hope of winning this. Note that Black can always afford to sac his bishop for White's b-pawn, because White would be left with the "rook pawn and wrong-colored bishop." If White undertakes elaborate maneuvers to avoid that, Black will have time to launch counterplay with his own pawns.
