Usually a 2 person job one to pull cable with locking vise grips and one to lightly push down on hood above where lock is to help relieve pressure on lock

I seem to remember an old thread about how to fix this. Maybe if you search it'll come up.
Here's one I found: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...od+release+fix

Once you DO get it open you can get the whole hood cable assembly from Mazda, it's not too pricey. Part number
