You are in a no loss situation to "persuade" it to open with some gentle prying. I'd suggest proceeding gently to finesse it open first rather than a crowbar as a first try. It is likely jammed at the sides, rather than the top, so some lateral wiggling might free it.

After all, unless you go gonzo on it, the worst thing you can do is to break the tray which doesn't affect the printing.
