You might want to consider lapping your stone flat before doing anyting else. Personally - I wouldn't want to set a bevel on a 3k SS, especially if the steel is very hard. But - that's just me. I suppose it can be done - but I would choose a more coarse stone for that work.
Post a photo of the blade please, both sides. Without seeing the blade there is no way to give adivice or offer suggestions.
What I do think is that the 3k isn't coarse enough for what you are trying to do, the stone might not be flat, and you're not using enough pressure to get the bevel cut right. Pressure - I don't mean pressing the blade hard into the stone. I mean just enough to get the stone to cut the steel.
Also - its possible your stone is glazed over - I have only seen that on a 12k a few times but I think its possible on any SS... a good lapping will correct that.

Are you cutting steel? Is there swarf on the stone? Have you done a MM test to see if the existing bevel is making contact with the hone? How wet is the stone when you're honing? Did you soak it a little bit or use it splash-go style? Are the edge of the stone chamfered?

Sorry to ask a lot of questons but if you can answer some/all of them plus post photos someone might be able to offer help.
