You are correct, butter knives are not steak knives.
Let me put it this way, butter knives are sharper than a teaspoon, they are also long implements so your hand is further from the tip. Both things mean a slip (which inevitably happens when interacting with a lid on glass), can result in a cut or stab.
Why risk this? Especially as general advice, maybe you happen to have the perfect butter knife for the job, but other butter knives may be lethal.
The reason why I prefer butter knifes is that they are much easier to get under the lid. They are only sharp enough to cut butter so you can also grab it close to the tip if you need to.
Yes, don’t use anything that can stab or cut you even if for some weird reason you call that a butter knife.

Every teaspoon will get the job done safely.
