Good design and location helps strengthen even the weaker safes.
Put your safe in a corner, with the hinge line situated furthest from the corner. Bolt it down to the concrete or floor. Now they can't pry the door as easily, and can't tip it to get leverage. Better yet, keep it in a closet where there's no room for leverage on either side of the door, and keep it distant from any outlets. Make sure there's no straight line from the safe door to an exterior door where a vehicle could apply force (no safe in the garage!!)
Keep your saws, grinders, prybars, extension cords and welding torches locked up separately.
Do all of that, and they have to work with tools they've brought. You can't stop everyone, but that would stop a good percentage of folks.
