This happens to me about one or two plants per hundred. I will usually mist the area with a spray of water and see if I can gently wiggle the seed hull off. If it doesn't come off easily then I will repeat the following day. Normally they will pop right off with no damage. Worst case is that you snip the tip of one of the cotyledons or split the hull with some small scissors, which will not hurt the plant and allow it to gather more light for photosynthesis.
