Phal has overgrown ceramic pot- break it or let it ride

I have had this Phal for 3-4 years and it is a great grower and it has totally taken over this pot- there is no media inside anymore, just roots- the plant is still thriving but it is clearly growing out of the pot.

I do not believe that i can remove it without causing great damage even if i were to soak it for a while....

so, would you leave it alone? sink this into a larger pot and backfill around it? break this and clean out what i can?
