Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I've disassembled three Macs to
install memory upgrades and a large screen monitor.  In all cases (har)
I opened them by carefully using a flatblade screwdriver on the points of
the torx screw (for the deep set ones), or a regular allen wrench.

Warning: be careful of stripping the screws if you do this.

Peeling apart the case is somewhat more problemmatic as you must apply
generous amounts of presure with your fingernails and avoid popping it
open and spilling the guts.  Use as many fingers as possible to distribute
the pressure.
