Are you sure it's don't move them until the 2nd year or don't move them until the 2nd set of true leaves appear? For small finicky volunteer plants/seedlings in the ground I take my bread knife and cut a circle around the plant about twice as deep as it is tall and a minimum of 6 inches away from the stem. I then let it sit for a week or so and watch it's reaction. If it doesn't react by wilting after a week I take a shovel and dig it up. I've had good success doing this.
If it does wilt then I leave it until it recovers then dig it up.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
