Send it to me & I'll have a go removing it for you if there's any issue.

I have tried this, and for whatever reason it just seemed to keep unzipping the rim. Once part of it is damaged, I suspect it's curtains for the rest. Having said that, if you can engage the correct shellholder on the rim of the case and try with that you might have luck?
