I need to start up my Toshiba 9" TV/DVD TV to remove a DVD. I have the
CRT removed (long story). Is it safe to just ground the HT lead to
chassis and have the neck board disconnected for a few seconds power up
to cycle the tray without blowing up the boards?

Turn the tray motor by hand.

This is the best suggestion.

Grounding the HT lead when powering is a sure way to blow it up.

Just turn the tray motor by hand. Didn't I hear that before?
