Try greasing it well and leaving it in the barrel overnight. It might compress the cork enough to solve the problem. Otherwise, if it's an equally tight fit in both barrels, cut a strip of abrasive - 400 or, at the coarsest, 320 - and hold it around the mouthpiece tenon with your fingers and rotate the mouthpiece with the other hand so you take cork off evenly around the whole tenon. Try it fairly often in the barrels. A little removed will go a long way.

The real problem is when th mouthpiece tenon is tight in one barrel and verging on too loose in the other. when that happens you sometimes have to make adjustments to the socket of the tighter barrel.
