Offsets tend to be the best way to propagate Flapjacks. Just use a clean knife to remove the offsets as they appear. It is a slow offsetter, so it will take a while to propagate it.
Leaves are notoriously difficult for Flapjacks for the reason you describe: the leaves are tougher to pull than other succulents like Echeveria or tender Sedum. Using a strong pair of forceps would work, but you may have to dig the whole plant up to get to the leaf bases.
