bolt covers

So when the previous owner laid her down, it looks like the force of the impact rotated the handlebars a little.  I only noticed because I can't seem to get the right side mirror properly adjusted, and the brake handle assembly was rotated back toward the rider a little.  I had to take the two covers off of the bolts holding the brake handle assembly to get it back into place, and just destroyed them.  Does anybody know of a good way to get those darn bolt covers off without destroying them?  By bolt covers, I mean those little silver, plastic caps that suzuki puts in the top of the hole the bolt goes in to keep out water and clean up the look a little.  I need to loosen up the 4 bolts holding the handlebars in place so I can put them back where I want them, but those bleeping covers are in the way.  I know I can get them out by breaking them, but there has got to be a better way.

I'm with Thumperclone. The hardware store sells stainless steel furniture plugs that look better than stock.
