Exactely. You can't really just muscle it as hard as you can. There's a very good chance that you'll break a seal doing that.
I've done the ATF trick before on a used engine that sat for waaaaaay too long.
I pulled the plugs, pulled the UIM, poured a little ATF down each port and into each spark plug hole. Let her sit overnight, went out the next day and with my 3/4" breakerbar and 52mm nut, just worked the flywheel back and forth until she started to move. Did exactely like David said and just went a little farther each time then back the other way until she'd rotate nice and easy.
The whole process took a few hours but the engine ran OK for a year or so before a coolant seal went to hell.
Personally, after what happened to me last year, I would crack the engine open, clean everything and put it back together.
