I'm Tired of Breaking those darn plastic lining clips

Now that I got my power atenna all fixed, I did have trouble with the wheel well lining plugs. These plastic plugs/clips are also notorious on any plastic body trim (eg when you remove the door panel to change the speakers). I usually use a large flat blade screwdriver, but I always manage to break one or too or scratch/tear the trim panel.

Any tips how to remove these without breaking them? Is there a special tool people use?

Cheers.

I have these. They work well in the fact that they have a larger washer area and there are little heads to pull out with some needle nose. I got them from Lowes.
