Oh no don't ever do that. The wooden spoon will not be sanitary and could contaminate your beer. Just leave it alone and be patient. I assume you have an airlock? If the gas has no way to escape your fermenter will explode at some point, it probably would have happened by now.

Hops go in Saturday.
You need to let the gas escape at this stage.
Indeed - open it every day or two when it gets going and give a good stir with a wooden spoon - it will froth up!!
This gets the CO2 out which at this stage is an unwanted by product which hampers fermentation.
