Putting the wheel at a low angle to the ground and stepping on the tire with your foot might work to pop the bead to the center. I haven't tried that though. I wouldn't use pliers or vice grips unless you don't care about damaging the tire. In a Park video, they used the jaws of a repair stand clamp to break the bead, but that's a garage/shop procedure.
