Somtimes the ear just doesn't wana stretch haha. I would put your earrings back in a wait a tad longer. Add some tape around your plug to gradually make it to the 00G, then the taper will just finish it right up. Or go to your piercing shop they''ll get it in.

Don't force it... a month isn't very long at all; it's recommended that you wait at least six weeks between stretches. I've been at the same size for three months and my ears still aren't ready to stretch. Just give it some time and do some oil massages (you can use the jojoba oil or get something like emu).
