You may consider instead of "Failing" the attempt limit the attributes of
the item.  e.g. use a formula like
LEVEL_RESTRICT(eq)/GET_LEVEL(ch)*(Arbitrary value such as AC adj etc and
allow no magic effects <Pluses> to work)

In this way it is as though they have to learn how to use the equipment.

It is more complicated but I believe that the players would like that more
than a message like "You don't know how to use this item, maybe when you
have gained a level or two"

Just my two cents.
