Changing belly piercing I can't unscrew the ball?

This is my first time changing my belly ring I had it done November 4th of last year and I want to change it today. For some reason I can not take off the ball on my piercing I think the piercer put it on to tight. I don't wanna force it and then I fuck up then it gets really infected any tips? Should I just go to the piercer so that he can take it off for me? I watched some tutorials on YouTube an it looks so easy on them on mines it's too damn tight 😒
