There have been a few threads re this and I spotted this on Temu…no idea whether it will help but it looks ideal?

At 88p, I suspect it would break very soon.

I puncture the foil with a thumb nail or a small pen-knife before pushing on the bubble.

In extremis, when I had a broken wrist, I pulled the foil away after cutting around the tablet with the small pen-knife.

I expect a nail file or similat instrument would work too.
