Try moving the shape a few frets higher up the neck - you won't need as much pressure on the top 2 strings to get the strings sounding right. Once you get it, start shifting back down. Cheating is OK, but I think you should at least aim for doing it 'right' before you decide to do it 'wrong'...
You'll need that strength in your hand eventually.....
