Removing the headlight bezel

hello guys & gals

I am trying to get my painted bezel off a carbon "bucket". I've loosen the PH screw at the bottom of the headlight but the bezel is rock solid. I don't want to use a screw driver blade to leverage the bezel loose as it will scratch the paint.
Is anyone aware of a nifty tip to get this done? Thanks in advance.

I’d take the screw right out and try using a plastic car bodywork spudger in place of the screwdriver. or maybe put some heatshrink on the tip of a large flatblade screwdriver. Try a hairdryer on the other side first to soften the paint a little where you won’t be levering.

Where in New Zealand?
