every tile needs a different str and a different quality tool.you will probably need a lot more str and a better tool to mine

well every tile has a different hardness( even harder on deeper levels) and it depens on your str and the quality of your tool.it is possible to mine with str10 and a q10 axe but the chances are pretty low.On lvl2 I had problems with a q50 stone axe and around 100str, for example

also, do i right click the rock to mine or use the mine button in adventure then click the rock?

Just so you know:

Mining ability = sqrt (tool quality * Strength)

In order to mine a tile, your mining ability must be greater than the tile hardness (as was mentioned earlier).

you should consider reading the wiki page about mining too

Hmm. If you're good enough to sling boars, you can probably sling bears. Consider hunting down a bear and making a bear cape and bear tooth necklace; both grant sizeable bonuses to strength as well.
