Wow.. That's hard to hear!!! 
Usually, the problem is that the females lay the eggs on the bottom of the laying box, so they stick to that.. and, of course, the solution for THAT is to cut out the lay box around the eggs & then stick them in the incubator as is. But to the bottom of the actual habitat?
My 1st idea would not have been to try twisting them off - for exactly the reason that happened to you.
I believe one suggestion I heard a while back was to put veggie or olive oil (Are those toxic to the eggs, though??? I can't remember) on the floor right around where the eggs are, as well as the very bottoms of the eggs themselves. The oil should soften the eggs back up just enough to take them out.
People who know better, please correct me if I'm wrong!
Better luck next time!!!!
