As long as you are sure the bolts are all removed, no, the brute force won't damage the pan. It is a casting, it won't bend or deform, it will only break, and the sealant alone won't stick hard enough for the pan to break. I just use a chisel instead of plastic, just don't allow the chisel to damage the sealing surface, keep it between the tabs. I know it can be stubborn, as long as the bolts are all removed TRUST me it'll come off without damage.

PS This kind of shows how good that Loctite 5900 is.
