Run the stern line around dock cleat midship back to Crew on deck. Go into reverse. When bow facing out at angle closer to boat on starboard, crew brings in line and give it a burst of forward. 12 66.67%

The problem I have with this technique is that several of the (fuel) docs I've been on with more or less this condition is that they have pilings that raise above the dock considerably, and when using the dock I have a dink on davits with the pontoon ends on the port side of my boat.

When springing the bow out, then driving forward, I had the dink catch on one of those pilings.

If the wind pushing you onto the dock isn't too great, can you motor forward against an aft midships spring to push the stern out, then back up to get some clearance of your bow off the dock, then spin the wheel and motor forward? Strong wind/high freeboard will make that more difficult however.
