As others have said, I go for giving the fitting a gentle pinch so it still slips but only when you are actually sliding it into place.

Whack it gently with a centre punch !

You can borrow my pipe slice if you want, it squeezes the pipe so badly I can't get conex nuts on the buggers without reforming it with my pump pliers

Sounds like my old (brand new) Nerrad pipe slice, it would spiral so bad I could have fit mic straight onto copper pipe!
