You might be able to peel it off if you wet it with a sponge. You'll have to gauge how much water it needs to release. It has been up there for many years since that was a trend in the 80's.
I just use a spray bottle of warm water. Let it set a couple of minutes and pull it off. Works for me every time. I've removed all the borders in our home that way.

If the wall is sheetrock, be careful to not get it too wet.

A steamer (hot) will loosen the glue and it should peel off easily.
