How to negotiate salary again after already accepting offer?

Hello all. I’m in the US. I just accepted a job offer formally after negotiating for slightly more (.17 cents) hourly at that new job. After thinking about it, I think I am worth more than that and would like to ask again for a bump between .50 cents and a full dollar. As stated, however, I have already accepted the offer at the slightly higher rate. How would I negotiate a higher pay despite this? I was thinking of raising the point that I have just gotten an offer at a different firm that has a higher pay (which is true) and asking them to match. I have no real intention of accepting the other offer because it has such a higher workload but I do have leverage. What should I do? Thanks! This is a cross post on r/jobs as I wanted to get several perspectives.
