You can try carefully driving a knife edge between them. That will often
get it started enough to allow the pieces to be twisted apart
normally. Whether you get them apart yourself or not, you should have a
technician refit the tenon and socket so it will not happen again. You
most likely have a wood-to-wood contact problem, not just tight cork.
