Another thing you can try with the scoring... use warm water and Downey in a spray bottle! It helps dissolve the glue! I PROMISE and it smells good!

But if there's no sizing - and in some older homes there won't be (like mine!!!) rent a wallpaper steamer! I swear to you it WILL be worth it in your time and effort of NOT having to patch the HOLES and GOUGES you'll make in the wall trying to remove the darn border!

Good luck!
oh yeah I read about the downey trick....I will try it next time..
