I had the same frustrating experience updating to 11.1 Beta (20C5048k), 2020 MacBook Pro. I tried every suggestion posted but none worked. Finally contacted Apple Support who came up with the following solution:
Reboot holding the option key (Startup Manager)
Returns you to software update window
Updated Software
This time worked like a charm
