There not the worse ive seen but looks like the screw driver route is the only way. The 2 little slots have had some hammer before so now nothing will grip in them.

Ill wait till i have some fundage in paypal and order a new set.

Trouble is the area surrounding gets mashed and forms a lip over the caps.
Either gotta drill a hole in them then prize them out or get a small screwdriver down the side.
I broke one of mine but they had holes in them already, got a nice shiny new pair.
