I would say that if you have to push it, then don't, and just make an ability check.
For most DMs anyway, whether there is a skill or not for a certain action only makes a bonus difference, so it's not even that important: it changes the probability but not whether you can try.
I am, on the other hand, more stingy in allowing checks on something you're not proficient.
But even in my case, if the odd action in question is something that comes up for the first time and we haven't thought before, then this fact itself explains why there isn't a skill: it's something so rare and specific that nobody trains for it. Should it start coming up often, we'll make a custom skill and add it to the game
