Struggling with Y121 winding stem removal.

Hello. I have used quite a few Y121 movements over time, but getting the stem removal mechanism to work is always trepidatious for me. I can get a watch nearly built, and often struggle to remove the stem a final time to do final adjustments to the stem length. I am aware that the stem needs to be in the time-change position, and I try turning the stem clockwise during removal, but far to often it won't budge. Sometimes it works using the dimple, sometimes pressing on other places, but never consistently. I take care not to warp the tip of the stem. 

I can only assuming I am missing something obvious, and it is causing me grief. Any suggestions?
