For starters, don't go at it like a gorilla. Slow and steady gets the steel off of there with minimal damage. I have used a hammer and 'superbar/bluebar' with pretty good success on old corrugated galvanized roofing without a pry board for most nails. Tap the bar under the nail with the hammer and then pry, but not too hard. Sometimes if the nail isn't too tight you can push the bar under the nail head, but remember, your hand wasn't designed to be a hammer. You'll get the feel of it. If the nail is tough you have to put your agression aside and resist the temptation to just jerk it out no matter what. That's when you get the end cutters to nip the head off. When the sheet is off remember to pull the nail you cut the head off of before you forget about it and rip your pants on it later on.
I've never removed the newer flat ribbed steel but I would think cutting off the heads would be the only way for that stuff. Jim
