Kurt,
Success is likely - if you go slowly and carefully! Tape up the trim first with some 1/2 inch tape.
The trim is just held on by the edge, and the clip grabs it. You need to bend the clip in slightly to get the trim to release. Sometimes a "pulling" action will work, others need a "lever" action. You just have to feel it out as you go. That's my experience anyway.
Most damage I've seen is from a gorilla pounding the trim back on, not in the removal.
