Yes, I recall seeing in a magazine years back (I think it was Musclecar Review in the 80's) saying the best tool is the old style metal bottle opener and I remember they had a few layers of masking tape on the opener to keep from putting marks in the trim.

Maybe spray a little lube under it also as you pry.
