I have grabbed them with a three jaw drill chuck real gently and unscrewed them.
I have an old albreicht chuck that's not installed on a drill that I use for holding and grabbing various round things.
I use it like a 3 jawed pair of pliers, but it's much more gentle and does not mar things like pliers would.
