I use a punch, and pretty much follow the standard instructions.
The key, is not being afraid to use enough force to get the base plate going. Unlike, for example Walther P99 magazines, where it is only necessary to slightly depress the button before the base plate slides off, with Glocks, you have to jam the punch in, and pry the base plate forward, while leveraging the punch agains the mag body.
If you are ever at MRA, I can take a stab at getting the base plate off.
