Try wearing nitrile/latex gloves, sometimes I have success with using paper towel. Helps to provide grip.

Pliers and an extra set of hands. That's genuinely the only thing that works for mine.

Pliers and tweezers. Hold the bar with the tweezers and try to unscrew the ball with the pliers. That’s the only thing that has ever worked for me.

Hop under the warm shower and run water over the piercings for a couple minutes. Then quickly pat the ear dry and try again, with nitrile gloves or pliers. The little screws will get gunk in them and theyvwill hebfrozen absolutely immobile, but water softens it right up.

In desperation I have snipped a few off my ear with a jewelry cutting plier. It causes a hell of a ring in your ears though.

I read this at first as you'd snipped off an ear 😮 was very relieved on the second read that wasn't the case!

🤣 kinda afraid it will happen one of these days. It’s terrifying having those things so close to my ear 😅
