unpotting a root bound Dend.

I'm not quite sure what to do here. I just received my Dendrobium Lorrie Mortimer today and can't figure out the best way to pot this. There's no way I can remove the plastic pot without breaking most of the roots. They are forever stuck and as well, growing out of the bottom holes. I can't cut the pot because there's not enough room between the pot and roots to cut. I tried soaking it but not enough loosening to make any difference and again, the bottom holes are filled with growth that would make pulling the plant up and out, impossible.

The only alternative I can think of is to pot the entire plant in the original pot, into a larger pot but I'm fearful that this wouldn't be beneficial, overall for the plant? Can anyone advise me on how I should proceed with this?
