How to Remove MONSTER CD rings without damage

Back in the late 80's Monster Cable had a gimmick for CD rings to supposely help the laser read more accurately. I fell for it just like the Audiquest marker, etc. The Monster ring would stick on the perimeter of the CD. But they don't just peel off almost 20 years later.

Does anyone know how to remove these MONSTER CD rings without damaging the CD itself ?

I have about a dozen or so CDs with these rings on them. Worried that they could damage my delicate CD transport and players because it doubles the weight of the disc

Thank you to all who help.

they don't peel off. they also won't hurt the performance of the disc. you shouldn't worry about it at this point. if it is a big concern, replace the discs. i still have discs with them on, and they do help stabilize the disc, which i assume translates into better sound.
