it's plastic. just use some wire cutters and start snipping away. or a dremel would work as well.

Use a small dremel bit to just shave off the original stems.

Would something like this work? (the pink conical one)

WhiteFireDragon:
Yeah the ones with the pink heads will work, although those are more meant to carve styrofoam or other soft wood. It might wear faster on plastic, but since it's just a small amount, I think it should be ok. The heads with brown sandpaper looks too thick to fit in the spacebar crack.

Awful:
Just wanted to add, you've done a stellar job so far. Looks really clean!
