I have not attempted to take apart a unit, but in theory anything put together can be taken apart. THe question then is can it be put back together. A quick search and I don't see any teardowns on youtube.
I had something similar happen and I was able to stick in a piece of heavy card stock to get the stray piece out.
@OH6 I had a square terminal with a cracked screen and I wanted to replace it, I contacted support and they told me that all their devices have anti-tamper built into them and if tripped it will render your device useless. I was lucky and just had to replace the screen so I didn’t have to come in contacted with the swiper, or chip reader.
So I would keep that in mind, have you thought about trying something like a dental pick to try and pull the tape out?
