Welcome to BYC! It's a good idea to give ducks at least 24-36 hours after they pip before assisting. Otherwise you risk them bleeding out from unabsorbed veins which is usually fatal.
Can you post a couple pics?
If you see any veins at all it's not ready yet. You can candle the pointy end to check for veins and yolk sack down there too. Those are the biggest and most important veins, those have to be completely gone.

That does look pretty dry, what is your humidity at? I'd try to have it at 75% or so at least.

Well if he pipped this morning he's probably not ready yet still.
If you have some warm water and a mist bottle you can mist all of the eggs with it from a couple of feet back. Otherwise I'd just wait a while longer to give him time to absorb.

Opening it won't hurt anything as long as it's not for too long (more than 5 minutes or so)
It takes less than a minute to mist the eggs and that helps boost humidity a lot.
No worries, you're welcome!
