In Fender's setup specs, they recommend 1/16" (2 mm) between the bottom of the strings and the top of the fret at the 17th fret.
It's not as much force/pressure as it is technique for fretting bar chords. Almost anybody has the hand strength to actually fret them - having the technique to do it properly is just a matter of lots of practice.
