Is it possible to unstick a frozen brake caliper?

1981 300SD. Before I change my front brake caliper, I wonder if there is really any way to get it unstuck. The piston just does not seem to want to move. I can barely get it to go back in so I can replace the pad which is worn down to the bone. Wondering if the piston has come out too far to go back in?

Is there an alternative to changing it out?
