The side you're trying to take off, push the tire to the center where the rim drops down a bit lessening the effective diameter. This will give you a little more room to lift it over the lip of the rim. I have tubeless ready tires and rims on my mtb and they are the hardest beads to break loose of anything I've tried. I can leave the bead fully seated on one side and peel the other side off, after breaking it loose all the way around.
