Try to slide them apart instead of trying to pull them apart. Putting them in an AC coil will weaken them but you may not want that. Heating them is another option but again you will make them less or non-magnetic.

demagnetise one of the magnet using another stronger magnet by rubbing in one direction .
the atoms/protons will then flow to the stronger magnet so that it will be easier to seperate them .. i guess

use a plastic knife to go between them and hopefully you can get them far enough a part to be able to separate them. it all depends on how strong they are.
