Usually, when pins are hard to remove it means the wings have dug themselves deep into the nylon connector housing. It can help to push the pin back towards the tool and wiggle it around to loosen it and hopefully free the wings from the connector. Then reinsert the removal tool carefully and wiggle the pin some more.
You should never need to use any force when inserting the removal tool. If you push it in too far you are usually damaging exactly the piece of connector where the wings dig into.
