Intes Micro dovetail rail removal?

In attempting to remove the U-channel type dovetail mounting rail on my Mak, I see that it is held to the tube by 5 rivets of some type. It looks like it is not going to be so easy.

Has anyone had any luck removing one of these rails? The soft metal is easily damaged by overly agressive clamping.
