I'll add my 2c. I'd be trying to lift one of the "outside" 1x6 beams off the
1x2 plates, just enough to slide it off the #3 axle. If that fails, use some
thin-nosed pliers to remove one of the axles.

Yes, I've done similar things by accident a few times and usually I bailed out
exactly that way, using the flexibility of the pieces in order to "slide" them
off the studs they are on.
Theoretically, though, I think this structure could not be taken apart.

P.S. this is a good conclusion of this old thread:

I put one of these together (using a 4 axle on one corner for qucik release
because I am a coward) and I have found that if you put a thumb behind the
middle of one of the horizontal beams and just pull very hard there is just
enough flexibility for the beam to come off the axles. It takes some courage
to commit yourself to putting so much stress on the elements though.
However... If you build it using 6x1 plates instead of 2x1 and put some 2x1
bricks in to make the sides solid this becomes impossible!

Oh hell! I've just discovered that if you do my modification one quick
release axle is not enough. I can't get it apart!!!
