Thumbs down unable to open battery compartment (Vector)

I can't get the cover off my battery compartment. I think I replaced the battery once and the legend on the compartment lid, with the dot and arrows going off to left and right, is at about 120 degrees counterclockwise to where it should be lining up with the same legend on the case. I can turn the cover so I think it is open--the battery wasn't totally dead, and now it's not making contact, so I think it's loose all right, but I can't get the cover to come up out of its position so I can grab it and remove it.

I thought about using a plumber's quick set epoxy to glue a "handle" to the cover that I could grab onto and pull on. I'm afraid to use a small screwdriver to try to pry it up from the circumference, thought that would ding up the case side and make it useless in the future.

Any ideas?
