I actually used a soldering iron to melt the solder off the pins of the chip, while using a precision screwdriver to lift the chip.

If you don't have a soldering iron at hand but have access to a dremmel tool (high speed rotary hand tool), then you might, with a tiny carbide cutting bit, be able to grind away the pin connections on the chip. I've got a very high end tool like this that would do the job. It looks like a dentist's drill and has very tiny tips for very precise work like this.

 

In the absence of a soldering iron with a pencil tip this is the next best thing. I would not try to "rip" or pry it off with anything. Rip that ribbon cable and you've got a whole new problem on your hands.
