Whatever glue was used on the trim, PVA or hide glue, it will probably be stronger than the trim. Prying it will likely pull chunks of the trim and the cabinet out. You will likely destroy the trim and the area of the cabinet around the trim.

I would suggest you score the trim/cabinet joint with a marking gauge. Then, if you can get your hands on a track saw, with a fine blade, cut the trim away leaving a light 1/16" behind. Try to heat the thin remains of the trim with a heat gun (low setting) or a hair dryer and see if the glue will soften.
