I have often had this problem with my Woodstocks, even without corrosion.
I've had good success with a 1" wide aluminum ruler that I used to push against the protruding ridge on the bottom of the pack (pushing in the direction of the arrow.) As David mentioned, this moves the pack forward a bit, and then the screwdriver can be wedged in place at the bottom of the pack, to be used as a lever.
Ditto on being careful not to gouge the case.
Good luck.
Larry
