Have you tried unchecking "quick format"?

 

I tend to use SD Formatter for formatting troublesome drives. It tends to work well for me. 

 

If that doesn't work, you can try diskpart through CMD (run as admin).

Try the "attributes disk clear readonly" command in Diskpart.

If it's cleared of read only, you should be able to format now, either through diskpart or Disk Management

Same thing through SD Formatter (run as admin)? Have you tried formatting to NTFS?
