Sound silly, but have you definitely broken the bead seal all the way around on both sides? Pop it all into the middle so the tyre is as baggy as poss, just in case you haven’t tried that

I had this on a Reynolds carbon rim once, used a set of mole grips to twist it off

Maybe you've sorted this by now. If not, maybe try this... with the tyre fully deflated, you need to take up the slack to get enough leverage to get the bead off of the rim. So get a multitool or a pair of tyre levers and wrap it in a rag (so that you don't mark the rim). Wrap the tyre around the multitool and pull down. A satisfying pop usually results and then you can ease the rest of the bead off of the rim with your thumbs.

Hive mind!
I can't for the life of me get a tubeless tyre (mezcal 2.1") off of a rim (wtb i29).
It might have something to do with my diminished strength due to a broken elbow two ish months ago but even the put it on a ledge, put foot on tyre, pull didn't work.
Any tips?
