It shouldn't take a lot of force, it should take a fair amount of slight repetitive force, such as might happen jiggling along through the mails.
I've tried both methods with success, during the run up PSA sourced a really bad batch of holders from China that slippage happened, usually in shipping, depending on how the card was wedged I tried contraction first which worked on a couple, others worked with expansion (heat), again depending on the nature of the wedgie, I would try both. Also, used the palm of my hand to strike against, never a hard surface for fear of cracking the slap.
