I had that occur to me some 20+ years ago, but I cannot remember how I fixed it.
I would start by removing the barreled action from the stock.
Then remove the trigger and sear assembly. Push out 1 pin and the trigger/sear comes off.
The hazy part is that I was doing something with the safety while lifting the bolt handle. I think I depressed the safety slightly while lifting the bolt handle, but I'm not sure. I do remember that it didn't require force/broken parts and the entire process seemed easy afterwards.
