Stuck valve cover

Replacing valve cover gasket on my N51. Got everything off (the rear bolts are actually not that hard, I had them all done in 3 minutes). But valve cover is stuck to the head. I got the front loose by prying with a screwdriver against the tab that sticks out from the front center bolt. But the rest I can't get off, and I don't want to lever too hard on the front to unstick the back since the cover is plastic and I don't want to break it. Any thoughts from those who have done this before?
