i have seen on other sites that people are wrapping a rubber band around it to help grip. Use the gimbal clamp when removing lens cover.

Use your fingertips around the front edge and apply steady CCW pressure (while holding camera with other hand) and it will loosen right up. Don't grip on the sides, metal is thin and the harder you squeeze the more it will resist.
