I've tried brute forcing it. Doesn't work.
0.02 BTC in the wallet.
I forgot my bitcoin core passphrase. Is there anyway I can recover?

No. The whole point of strong encryption is that it is impossible to recover the data without the passphrase.
You can:
Keep trying to brute force (maybe with faster computers, or a better initial guess at the passphrase)
See if you have a backup of the wallet.dat file that isn't encrypted
Try really hard to remember
Give up, and resolve to be more careful with strong encryption next time.
2No. Fortunately, there is no way to recover a password. Otherwise, it was not secure and someone else could have stolen your bitcoins. The best you can do is waiting a few days. Maybe you remember the password or you remember where you wrote it down. And for the case that you remember in 10 years -> don't delete your wallet. – ndsvw – 2017-12-22T18:44:37.477
If you could brute force it, someone else can. Unless you've had a revelation and remembered your passphrase, there is nothing you can do. – Monstrum – 2017-12-22T23:28:26.693
