Stab an edge or corner; it'll make it turn in their hand, and open up a side shot.

For that matter, just punch them in the face. Brilliant.

Conversely, counteracting this is not difficult as long as the wielder sees it coming, simply involving turning the body into the attack or moving the shield to meet the angle of impact. But either one of these moves exposes the other side of the body to attacks.
