Very Young Kitten Not Drinking

I recently got a kitten that was found abandoned in a park. It is obviously very young and I don't think that it is even 8 weeks old (the standard age for a kitten to have left its litter/mother).

Since we introduced him to our home, he has refused to drink much at all. We have tried forcing him to lick up a little bit of water but that's not really working. The only thing he will drink is warm milk/warm kitten formula, but he will only barely drink that. He lick it up for a few seconds but then he walks away and doesn't touch it at all afterwards.

I have had him for a couple days and I am concerned that he has gotten/will get dehydrated. What should I do? Maybe bottle feed?
