I sssume when you say damage, the damage was on the inside of the fob... the damage was on the part that secures the chip...With mine, I used a small screwdriver used for eyeglasses and it still couldn't get in. However, as I said, I was able to get the chip out without damaging the chip. But I did need to damage the original key fob cover.
Here is what has worked for me each time and has resulted in zero damage:
I know you did the deed already, just typing this out so it might help someone else.
Used a small very thin blade flat tip screwdriver with a wide blade.
You place the thin blade in the slight gap between the chip and stock case and then with say a small tack hammer gently, tap tap, on the screwdriver handle. The blade will then proceed downward and spread things enough so you can get in there and pry the chip up. You can't / you won't be able to, just push the flat tip down and get in in there.
