zipper issues

[dhc2021]

hey all, I cant unzip the bunk end from the long wall, the zipper doesn't have a pull-tab on it anymore and the hole is barely big enough to get a paperclip in and of course that wont work and its like its seized, tried wd40 no luck, along with most of the online hacks. almost ready to pry the zipper side open a bit, and split the zipper teeth. please help

Needle nose pliers maybe?

You can buy replacement zipper sliders, so it might be time to destroy the slider by gently prying it open to release the zipper.
