Bought a Crypto SeedPlate – It’s screwed shut and won’t budge. Am I missing something?

​

So I finally decided to level up my cold storage backup game and bought a SeedPlate from amazon (you know, the steel wallet backup thing). Arrived today, looks solid, feels heavy.

But here’s the thing — I cannot get the damn plate open.

It looks like it’s held together by tiny screws, but they won’t turn. Not with a screwdriver, not with a coin, not even with pliers. It’s like they’re welded or glued from the factory. I tried both directions in case they’re reverse-threaded — nothing.

Am I supposed to break it open? Did I accidentally buy a “permanently sealed” version? Or is this some kind of tamper-proof feature before first use?

I don’t want to damage it, but right now I’ve got an expensive metal brick that I can’t even stamp my seed into.

Anyone else run into this? Help a paranoid crypto guy out.
