I just had this happen to me.
I tried using a razor blade - it was working but spring would have arrived before I had all the paper out.
I tried burning the paper out with a propane torch - the paper was too wet to burn.
What finally worked was a sawzall with a flexible blade. That allowed me to cut the paper out of the auger.
If you take a pipe wrench and turn the auger back the opposite direction it should get it out. Good luck.
