Use a hair dryer. It will just take longer to heat up. While your prying, keep it pointed at the opposite side of the spreader and they should come off pretty easy but you have to be gentle and go slow. If it feels like the tape is hardening back up stop and heat it back up again. Its a slow process.
Don't have hair dryer or heat gun, nothing that outputs hot air, nearest thing is a microwave & that is pretty obviously out of the question. I know it's a slow process, I was having an inpatient kind of day.
