Quick Tip: Freeze Cabbage Heads Before Rolling
Wash cabbage heads, pat dry then wrap well in plastic and place in freezer a couple days before you plan on making stuffed cabbage rolls. Thaw the cabbage heads in the fridge one full day before preparation. When the cabbage is thawed the next day, you’ll find the cabbage leaves will come off the head easily and roll nicely.
Another method you could try:
Microwave cleaned cabbage head on low heat setting for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel leaves off. If you find the cabbage leaves aren’t as supple once you’re down a few layers, reheat for a few more minutes as needed.

Good tips! I just usually boil the whole head of cabbage and find the outer leaves slip off quite nicely. As in the microwave method, repeat the process to soften the rest of the leaves if necessary.
