Statins have a very low marginal effect on HDL's. Not worth it IMO.
Fish oil will help raise these, and also is very good for lowering triglyerides.
Avoiding sugar and fructose also lowers cholesterol.
A small bit of alcohol a day has shown in some studies an HDL raising effect. But I hesitate to recommend alcohol.

However.... the research is showing that the HDL issues are not that critical. It all depends on who you read, these days.
Taking a statin to raise HDL IMO is foolhardy. Statins are very toxic to the body, and the tradeoffs for this use are huge and not in your favor. The day is just about here where the "new" non-statin drugs are going to replace the statins. People who have been on these toxic drugs for a long time, are going to be very very angry soon.
