I've had the same problem. I would just turn it over and thump it onto the floor. A thin mat would save the finish on floor and UPS a bit.
I don't remember needing a lubricant in the past, but feel free to use penetrating oil or even butter.
I have used files to enlarge the battery compartment before reassembly, not all of the batteries are the same size.
