just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Does the cabinet have a logo that's held on with screws? If so, remove the logo, and drive a short fat self-tapping screw into the area under it, leaving the head sticking up a bit. Then use a flat piece of wood to protect the edge of the cabinet and act as a leverage point, and a claw hammer or short crowbar under the head of the screw to pull the grille out.
If it doesn't, the fish slice or similar tool is your best bet.

I've long since lost count of the number of these I've seen with screwdriver marks in the edges of the cabinet where people have tried to lever them out. The screw 'puller' method works perfectly, although to do it completely invisibly you do need a removable logo - preferably screwed on, although a pinned one can be removed with a flat blade.
This method also works to remove stuck back panels where they're either too tight a fit in the recess or the vinyl has gone soft and semi-glued itself - you need a very fat screw, and put it into one of the panel screw holes.

I always used to carry a fish knife in my pedalboard bag for just this purpose.
