Default How do you remove plastic frame plugs? HELP!

I am removing these so I can isntall fishtails.&nbsp\\; They are on the front of the lower swingarm on the left side of the bike.&nbsp\\; I tried a jewlers screwdriver and working it out slowly to no avail.&nbsp\\; Then I grabbed it with a needle nose to no avail?&nbsp\\; Is it threaded in?

We call that an Irish screwdriver - a very small drill bit in the center and then just pull / hook it out.
