I got a 1992 F150 with a 4.9L Inline 6 and the oil pan needs a new gasket and ive got all the bolts off but it wont come off. And its got a standard trans.

i know you said the bolts are all out but.... theres one on each side of the pan where it goes around the main caps that are very easy to overlook. otherwise, im jumping in the putty knife boat.

Im going to assume you tightened the bolts as you put them in. Loosen all of the bolts to where they're threaded just enough to not fall out. Then, you can move the pan around enough to get all the bolts started straight. Once they're all started, follow the recommend sequence to avoid warping the pan.
