I am wondering if anyone has determined a good way to remove those? I am wondering if I should have used a flat Xacto blade and tried to use it like a flat head - slightly pressing into the "top" of the bump stop button head, and then turning?

Or am I right in that they are just one time use?
I have spare bump stops if you don't get yours in time - I'll be at LEMO Friday morning.
