Some Vallium might help!!

Seriously I always find the business of pulling out old ROMs very
fraught!  I borrowed the correct size tool but it couldn't get a grip
so I had to use a thin flat screwdiver like everyone else.

Do take very careful note about which of the new ROMs goes where -
they are not labelled as clearly as they might be - ROM1 goes to the
back!  I put mine in the wrong way round and pulling out the new ROMs
is even more worrying than pulling the old ones which are going to be
thrown and the odd bent/broken pin isn't going to matter!!!!!

Good luck!

Andy
