Slider stuck on platter HGST HTS545032A7E680

Greetings

I had a drive with heads stuck on platter. There were two reading heads on a single platter. We moved the head stack while rotating the platter but it was stuck really hard and the top reading heads slider got left on the platter. I'm looking for safer ways of removing stuck sliders from platters. So far I have read about using fishing lines, tweezers, heat guns and soaking the platters in a special M3 liquid that is used for fire prevention?
Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Would it be possible to break the stiction by using ultrasonic vibration in some way?
