Struts can't be re-gassed, they can only be replaced.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

As suggested above, get some replacements. I've used sgs-engineering.com with success in the past. If you put in some basic filters like size you should be able to find a match with yours.

I can't help with the struts, but how are you trying to open it? You may well know this, but I recall from your initial post that you're coming from a tent, so I think it bears mentioning.
You need to start it off pushing it up from the corner, then kind of walk around as it goes up so you can take the weight as it comes down. That way you can bend your knees a bit and push through with your legs as well as your upper body. If you're trying to pull it up relying solely on your upper body that will be harder.
If the struts are worn out then that won't work either, but if they're okay you should be able to do it. Good luck!

All the best,
