Robot gets 'stuck' in object's costmap?

I'm navigating a jackal robot with the move_base stack, and am experiencing an issue where the robot will veer too close to the boundary of the costmap of an obstacle when executing curved trajectories, and gets stuck oscillating back and forth trying to escape once stuck. How can I avoid this behaviour?

All my move_base parameters:
