that's what I did when I decided to clean under the plastic on my MD 
and MnM.  I was
warned that they might crack by the Elektron tech.   but I avoided 
screwdrivers and instead
went for even pressure using just my fingers. the knobs are on there 
*very* tight, but you
can definitely get them off with your fingers.  I sort of gripped real 
tight and then wedged my
thumb and forefinger against the knob (on opposite sides) and faceplate 
at the same time
and let that be my leverage (without exerting sideways pressure).  
luckily, it went off
without a hitch....

besides, a screwdriver near the faceplates of these machines just 
seemed like a scratched
synth waiting to happen!
