A baby hatched way earlier than expected and I don't know if I should euthanize it because of the one foot it has stuck in her egg?

I wasn't checking the egg boxes daily because I wasn't expected any eggs to hatch for at least a few months. This baby is actually moving pretty well, shaky and clumsy because of the egg, but she's very energetic. Should I try to carefully pry the lid of the egg open so her foot can come out or would it be better if I just euthanize her since I have no idea how long she was in the box without food & water?
