There’s no given reason why you can’t just defect and then make four paperclips so it’s better for the AI. For that matter, the humans saved will need paperclips, so net good for the AI.

The paperclip maximizer only cares about the number of paperclips in its own universe, not in ours, so we can’t offer to produce or threaten to destroy paperclips here.
