Like a lot of things in life, guitars have all sorts of things that seem hard or scary until we do them once.

Always slack all strings way off before you start so there’s no tension effect. If acoustic, pull all pins with strings slack, remove the ball head from the bridge hole, hold all strings as a bundle with one hand while unwrapping each string one at a time from the post with the other hand staying a few inches away from the end. You can then just coil up the whole bundle and trash. Very little risk of injury.
