Artifactos, you just gave me a thought: By switching pedals with my husband, I'll get his great weight and strength to break them in and then switch them back! He has Mavick and I have Shimano Ultegra. Either way both clips and pedals will be broken in effortlessly.

Oh and I tend to clip out consantly on my right because I'm stronger and use that side to pivit off of. I should force myself to practice on the left not just for me, but for the pedal.
