That's some good advice there. So I've had two main suggestions: (a) give it some taps with a dead-blow hammer, see if it shakes loose; (b) use a thin implement such as a flathead screwdriver to gently work into the mating surface and see if it can be carefully pried apart.

Thanks all, and to those who DMed, I'll go try this out.
