We propose a dynamical mechanism leading to the fluidization by external mechanical fluctuations of soft-glassy amorphous material driven below the yield stress. The model is based on the combination of memory effect and nonlinearity, leading to an accumulation of tiny effects over a long term. We test this scenario on a granular packing driven mechanically below the Coulomb threshold. We provide evidence for an effective viscous response directly related to small stress modulations in agreement with the theoretical prediction of a generic secular drift. We propose to extend this result more generally to a large class of glassy systems.
