Why not save your fingers and simply buy a small bundle of the hardwood wedges sold at Home Depot, et al, that are used to level up door and window frames. Usually 1.5 X 6 inches and 3/8 inch tapering down to a blade edge and cost a few bucks for 10 wedges. Perfect for the job and I have also used them to pry loose a coupe body that was stuck to the frame.
