I have no such pliers!
But the stem has a little bolt for opening the clamp. So I'll stick a coin behind that, tighten it down as far as I dare, lube the bar up with soapy water, get the orientation sorted, add a flathead screwdriver for bonus spreadz if I'm desperate, and just pull and wiggle like mad. And turn the air blue with obscenities of course.

Would reverse pliers not do the job? I find they are usually best for avoiding scratches on bars
