How to Remove Cover to Adjust Handlebars

Hi all!

I hope everyone is doing well today.

I queried last week regarding my Modolo Speedy Stem, but am curious if there's a certain way to to remove the cap (without marring the finish) so I can adjust the handlebars? I've tried tiny, tiny tech screwdrivers, but really?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like someone glued it in. Usually the problem is getting it to stay in, not get it off.

If that's the case, use a hairdryer to soften things up a bit.

Tried that too. Crazy. I guess I will have to drill it out (kidding)...any other ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks!
