Well it would be nice to get what you wanted without doing any damage. Sometimes that is impossible to do. Since the car is in a junkyard and probably not too many days from the crusher, I would not worry about the damage unless the junkyard specifically tells you not to damage anything or more specifically, don't damage that trunk lid. Without that warning, you can use any means to get what you need/want.
