How to remove a stuck screen

I know the video says the screen removal is the hardest part of replacing the battery, but mine seems more than "hard" to remove. I'm a 6' male and am using all my strength and the thing simply won't come loose. The iFixit-supplied suction cup keeps deforming and finally losing grip. Yes, I've cleaned both the screen and suction cup thoroughly to ensure good fit. The screen won't move. I guess being on there 2 years can get it "glued" in place. What tricks are there to force it to come off?

EDIT: In case anyone goes for the obvious, yes the pentalobe screws are removed. (They came out with surprisingly little torque.)

The solution was to obtain a better suction cup. The one iFixit provides with the battery kit is insufficient to remove the iPhone 5 screen. Once I had a working suction cup I got the screen off in less than a minute.

Ktappe, I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 7. I see that it was quite a few years ago that you had this problem, but any suggestions on which suction cup to get? Mine is also insufficient.

I never ever use a suction cup never have.

I insert a iseasamo on the lower left corner as there is a little gap in the screen underneath.

A thin blade can do the trick aswell but be careful..

Once you have it lifed up a tad insert the plastic pry tool to remove the rest

I'm having trouble as well. With an iPhone XS in this case.

I used the ifixit heating pad on all the edges and for six minutes apiece. I have the vise removal tool.

On the possibly good side, the screen is cracked, so I don't need to put it back in. I just need to get it out.

After more frustration and experimentation, I removed the screen.

It seemed like the cracks in the screen allowed air to get under the suction cup. It also seemed like the cup wasn't adhering well to the packing tape I laid over the screen.

So, I tried heating the bottom end of the iPhone XS with a hairdryer. Then, with it hot, I used the edge of a razor blade to lift a little near a corner. That nearly impercepitble lift after holding in place for a while became perceptible. Then, with the oversized guitar pick tool, a second person worked the pick under the screen nearby and then was able to slowly go around the entire phone.
