How to weaken spring force in a gun magazine

I have a CZ 527 American 22 Hornet. I have had it for a few years and have never fired it. It is brand new. The magizine spring is the tightest I have ever seen. I can put 4 shells in it with my might. It is meant for 5, no way. Is there any way that I can do any thing to the spring to have less preasure.

 
Cycling looses up springs more than static load. Do what you can to load to 5 a few times. Should get better after just a few cycles.

Try to get a loader. Various folks make 3D printed ones for lots of less-common guns so it might exist. Helps, if you can find one.

try a mag loader
 
Like new shoes it will break in. Load it up with 4 empty casings and leave it for a few weeks. (Or longer if need be) Then try 5. We used to break in pistol magazines that way. I would refrain from cutting off coils. It was designed that way for a reason.

Thank you very much.
