I'm not sure this is the best solution, but I've used a long-ish screwdriver to push down on the GPU lever in the past. Remember to push down on the lever and to lift up on the card while the lever is down.

I've had similar issues. I simply used an old-fashioned pencil with the eraser pushing against the lever which is at the end of the slot.

I'm afraid that i will destroy something is there a safer way to do that?

Any non-conductive method of pressing the lever. Not pressing the lever guarantees having to break it to remove. One of the reasons I picked the eraser of a pencil is because it won't scratch the motherboard if I were to slip.

pencil, stick, pen, someone with smaller fingers. just don't use anything too sharp, honestly even if you use something conductive it probably wouldn't matter assuming your computer is off and unplugged (but still dont)

I sometimes have to use that little paint lid opener. It's perfect as it has a 90° tip, so unlike a screwdriver or other 'straight' poker, it's easy to apply directly over the top of the gpu.

Alternately, take an old, cheap, now useless thin flat-head screwdriver and bend a small 90° in the tip. It allows bettet/easier access to the lever without getting involved in ram clearances.
