I found that using a practice hockey puck will work as a firm means of
holding the pressure required while unscrewing a too tight filter.

The 3 inch diameter is adequate to secure most lenses, and the 1 inch
thickness ot the rather soft rubber yields just enough to grip the
ring while unscrewing the ring.
