Forcing a Steam refund is tricky as it depends on their refund policy. Typically, refunds are granted for games purchased within the last 14 days and with less than 2 hours of playtime. If you believe you qualify, go to Help > Steam Support > Purchases, select the game, and request a refund. If denied, you can appeal, but do so politely and with clear reasons explaining your situation.
