From my limited experience with soaking...I have never forced any paper removal. Most would come off by themselves...Or upon me flipping the card over. I have grabbed loose paper with a fine tweezer but never really applied much force. I think this is the key you should not have to use force. Just don't be afraid to soak the cards for a while. I have left expensive cards soaking for more than 24 hours...with no Ill effects.
