Default 2013 breakout baffle issue

I have 2013 breakout with curved v & h pipes the bottom baffle came right out with no problems the top one won't budge after wd 40. Will it hurt it to ride it the 40 to 60 miles to the shop to have them get the second baffle out? The bottom one was a pain to get screw out of it so can only imagine trying to get baffle and screw back in. What's best way to get the to baffle out?

Don't think it will hurt anything but it will sound different, you could always remove the exhaust and take it to the shop. just saying.

Two cent comment.
A slide hammer with claws, will that work?

Might not cause any damage driving 60 miles with one pipe baffled and the other not.
I prefer the exhaust system removal suggestion.

Good luck.

The WD-40 left in there might cook and turn that pipe colored.
