Increase humidity anyway.

How far along is the egg that pipped?
How far along is the other egg?

Should I do a safety hole ??

No. Just leave it alone to do its thing.

What breed are they? Day 25 is when some breeds go into lockdown.

Is the pip through the shell to the outside, or is it only inside the shell?

It’s pipped to the point where it’s opened the egg but it’s not opened it fully to the outside yet where the egg shell goes onto the floor of the incubator

Then raise the humidity, and leave it alone. It is doing fine.
Expect a duckling sometime in the next two days or so.

Meanwhile, have you read this article on assisted hatching?
https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/

The article talks about how to assist, and when to assist, and when NOT to assist.
Assisting too early will often kill the baby bird.
