Is it possible to extract the rna from a virus without damaging its capsid?

Yes. Bacteriophages will happily do that for you if you just give them their some of their host bacteria.

I think you misunderstood, I don't meal to remove the rna from a bacterion. I mean to extract the rna of any virus out of its capsid.

Bacteriophages are viruses. They are just viruses that prey on bacteria rather than people.

I mean to extract the rna of any virus

There are many kinds of virus, with many types of capsid. No single technique would work on all of them.
Some viruses don't have any RNA - they use DNA instead.
