Pentium 2 Casing Removal

I need to know if there's a way I can remove the casing from this Pentium 2 cartridge CPU so I can remove the heatsink without being destructive. I've been trying to wrap my head around it all morning but I'm really starting to think they didn't want you inside these things. I have plans for a P2 belt buckle but I really need to get rid of this heatsink.

Some pictures for reference.

    I did this once. I think it involved prying off some of the parts that are glued, namely that heatsink. There are some screws but you are correct in your assumption that it's not meant to come off easily.

    I'm seeing the heatsink is held in with some screws in the back of it. Seemingly a simple Hex would take care of it but anything that fits is too small. I'm thinking I need to get some serious cutting power on this.

    They're probably metric hex screws.
