Rolling always carries risks. Whether it's the paint breaking, not working right or warping/buckling the panel.

It also depends how rigid that seam is. The likes of Frost sell a good tool, but results to get good clearance are often hit or miss.

TBH I've had better success just whacking the edge seam with a hammer to fold it up round gradually. But even that carries risks too. ( I like the big leather faced hammer Snap On sell )

But if the edge seam is pretty strong, that can be a difficult task.

Without damaging the external paint on the car, cutting it probably is the safest option, even it means breaking the paint in less visible areas.
