I see no restrictions for each spouse to take a withdrawal from their own accounts as long as each of them meets the qualifications to be able to withdraw without the penalty. See the IRS news release:

But you will still owe the tax on it. And it might push you into a higher tax bracket. Be careful.

You can report the distribution spread over 3 years to lessen the tax impact but it would still be a big hit on each tax return.
