You might have to hit it twice or until you hear a sort of pop as the air in the lid is relieved. I was taught this by a bar tender who did it a lot to get liquor bottles open.

If I had a vote though, it'd be for the old can/bottler opener. Put the sharp end up under the lid and wedge it away from the jar every quarter inch, all the way around. It'll come open.
