yep yer screwed, could try using a razor of craft knife round the edge then use heat (like one of those little jet cigarette lighters) over the decal to get it really hot n melt the glue n peel off with tweezers, but ya gonna be left with a decal shaped indent where you took it from, which you could sand over with really fine paper and re clear coat, but its gonna take patience to get it right

what about just rubbing down the clear coat where the sticker is, take the sticker off then get someone to spray over the bit where the sticker was with clear coat again and blending it in, I'm sure that can be done?
