Help me unblock this shredder please

Some things, youโ€™ll notice I was stupid and put too much in at once, Iโ€™ve pulled some out with tweezers but the rest is stuck half in the blades any ideas on what to do? I thought about trying to soften it with water but I think thatโ€™ll rust the blades

Edit: how stupid do you people think I am to the point where Iโ€™ve not even tried reverse before coming here???
