This no way about it. Have to hack the tiles and change the stopcock.

Happen to my unit also.

How much did it cost you?

Resident Bangla contractor charged me 500 to do it. He has some spare matching tiles. One afternoons fork. Hacked off 2 pieces of tile and the mortar beneath to get to the stopcock. Then change a new one.

In my case, it's my shower stopcock.

Would playing around by opening/closing worsen the situation?

Similarly, would applying a bit more force cause anything to break or become worse?

Yes, eventually it gets worst as did mine. Mine wasn't really a problem because it's in my shower...but eventually it leaves unsightly water and rust stain marks. however In your case just leave it full open for now as it stops the leak .

Mine was so bloody deeply concealed that hacking was the only option. Once they hacked, just change it anyway.
