You could put the block inside a heavy duty polythene bag in case the original wrapping paper bag burst sand keep tapping it gently with a rolling pin or some similar sturdy object like the sole of a shoe.

I'm sure there's an answer involving steam, but for the life of me, I can't remember the technicalities!

You can put it in a bowl and stretch a damp cloth across the top of the bowl (obviously not touching the sugar).
After a while this will soften up the sugar.
