Forum idiot is an understatement.

Well don't beat yourself up over doing a few nitwit things here and there ... it doesn't make you an idiot. I think plenty of people have embarrassing or agonizing stories here about one little careless error that leads to a massive damage control effort. I know it's easy to get frustrated ... especially when you have to set aside a problem that you don't know the solution to. I feel just awful because I can't get the nut out of the UCA, and two days in a row I have had to leave it to go to work with no progress. Already about 10 times I have concluded I shouldn't even try to work on cars because I'm just not strong enough and I don't know how to use the tools, etc. ... but every time I figure out the problem, sometimes with help, and learn something and decide to try again (well, I haven't figured out the UCA bolt yet, but ...  ).
I hope you can get it solved without a big to-do. Whatever odd thing happened to make the lid stick, a lot of us will learn something new from it.
