Stuck on? Long fine screwdriver slid underneath along the length, run the red pipe from WD40/GT85 along side it, quick spray, twist grip and it's off.
Algore, it does sound like you need wider bars tbh rather than different grips.
I bought some DMR grips which you lock on with locking wire. no slipping & rubber over the end of the bar.

another fine solution brought to you by Crotchrocket, Enjoy.
I use lock ons but dont compromise on weight by removing the grub screws and plastic sleeve and gluing them on
I've used bar tape in the past.
I sue lockons on everything except my BMX - new one came with a set on it, and there's a noticable lack of comfort compared to rubber mushroom grips. With boingy forks, lockons are great.
Anyone want to buy some white KHE lockons???
I like change and lock ons are great for replacing bars quickly without buying new grips.
I have to cut off some nice good n' evil grips off a carbon bar to make room for burly kit 👿
Normal grips on all my bikes. Well, the two without bar tape on them, anyway. Never had a problem with them coming off and never had a problem removing them either.
Having said that, why on Earth would you regularly need to remove grips?
I used GT85 to remove and put on grips but tried ruffian lockons and have moved all my bikes over except my lightish weight Ti hardtail out of (weight-weenie) principal.
