At work we’ve had a running joke of having one task every week be given a title that is a variation of “kick some ass”\* and I’m running out of euphemisms. Here’s what we’ve used so far:
Kick some ass
Give it hell
Storm the castle
Open a can of whoop-ass
Release the hounds
I know you can come up with more! Feel free to be creative.

- So you don’t think I’m a complete corporate suck-up, the previous running joke was about how much our jobs sucked.

I believe Terry Pratchett was fond of the “prod buttock” expression.

Go all Chuck Norris on it.
Send in the SEALS.
Have [insert Sopranos goon] fix it.
Nuke it 'til it glows.
And for really tough problems:
Nuke it 'til it glows … so you can shoot it in the dark.

My personal fave is “grab it by the nuts and drag it up and down the stairs until it begs for mercy.”
Although it occurs to me this ain’t much of a euphemism.
