Comments.Text: In my experience, growing up with them, you can always make a Lego disassembly tool out of more Legos, and then take the tool apart.  You might need to be clever with some of them, but there is always a way.  And you don't risk damage by using a harder material.  You can still bend things though, or break them if your tool isn't designed very well and you use too much force, so you need to be careful with that.
