Sometimes rubbing an ice cube at the edge of their foot will annoy them enough to move the foot just enough to get a fingernail under it and start prying. If you can get a powerhead to blow directly on it, it might decide to start moving to where you can get a hold of it.

Someone here recently was selling a 3-d printed mat they would use to cover the nem, and it would move to try to find more light. I have not tried this, but it sounds plausible.
