The same screws as those that hold a Compact AIO together are the means of cracking the case, if porter's pre-condition is met.
1) Remove the bottom rear case-screws entirely.
2) Slacken off the top case-screws for a couple of turns.
3) With the Mac face-down on a cushioned surface, hold the bucket by its top handle, and press firmly on each of the slackened top screws in turn with the Torx-15 driver.
4) As the bezel loosens in the bucket (ie, the case 'cracks'), slacken the top screws again and press them again.
5) Just a couple of repetitions of this, and you should be able to lift the bucket off the prone AIO.
6) Voilà! No mess. No fuss. No marring of the case joint.
