I usually resort to the gas cooker hob for this job.
A bit drastic but the troublesome circlip usually surrenders a lot sooner when given a good roasting first.

Usually I start with a small pin punch and gently tap round the circumference of the circlip, which seems to help loosen it's grip.
Then I use a hook and pick set to lever it free before the circlip pliers go in.

Good luck
