I had this exact problem with an old P4 a while ago. After failing to achieve anything with a scalpel and all the solvents we had to hand, and deciding the prising with a screwdriver was bound to snap the chip, it eventually came off with about twice the force you'd be comfortable applying to a CPU in a twisting motion. Usual disclaimer applies.
