When a print is really stuck, I use a puddy knife with a fine edge and a hammer to get them separated.

I don't want to scratch the glass or I would.

This is a glass bed on an Ender that I am doing this on. I haven't had any issues with scratching the bed whatsoever. Mild steel is actually softer than glass so it might actually be harder to scratch than you might think. Your mileage may vary though.

Huh, well, that's what I'm on too so I guess maybe it'll work out lol

God speed, lol.

FWIW I exclusively use PLA and don't have experience with any other materials.
