Same thing happened to me and someone suggested to use a razor blade and run it along the bottom of the glass. Good Luck

You have to cut the threads, it won't hurt the clam at all. Cut as far away from the clam as you can. Just don’t pull on the clam while it is attached, you can kill it.

Razor blade is the same advice I from someone. Though I never have to do it myself since I usually put a piece of rock underneath each clam.
