This is a raw, un-cut video of how i try to change a 12v globe in a twist style downlight fitting when its stuck and just wont come out. This may help you, but wont help everyone. There are a few other ways I've put up you can try too. Paint usually sticks the fittings and makes it hard to do. ALWAYS turn OFF the electricity at the switch. TURN OFF THE POWER. and let the globe cool down first. These ways wont work for everyone, but may work for some people. Be careful when pushing up the globe, it will only go up a little way, and if you smash it it may cut your fingers, but i haven't smashed a globe or cut my fingers in 15 yrs so just be careful and you should be fine. If you feel unsure, don't try it, but this is how i have done it before. Paint may stick the fitting to the roof, if it has been painted all over , it may not come out and you need to break the seal of paint, to get the fitting out. Not all downlight fittings have spring clips either. Good luck!
