   A flathead screwdriver does the job quite easily. Put it under one
end, lift a milimeter or few, go to other end, life few more mm,
repeat until out. If in a pinch, the nailfile from finger/toenail
clipper will do just as well. In short, just be nice to the chip
and don't bend its pins too much.
