What's the best way to open an OCXO in the typical solder-sealed tinned steel can?
Use a high wattage iron to melt the solder at one point, prise the gap open with a flat screwdriver, then work along the join.
Solder is soft. so once you get it started you should be able to roll it open like a can of tuna.
You could use a dremmel and a cutting disk, but the vibration might kill the Xtal.
Alternatively, a hot air gun might work if you are quick enough not to cook the innards.
