Default Removing a shallow saddle

Could you suggest how to remove a saddle that's sitting low in the bridge? There's not much saddle above the bridge and I can't grab it with pliers.
Thanks!

If there's a drilled hole for a pickup, you can come up from underneath with a paperclip.

Take some super glue put a drop on your finger, rest your finger on the saddle for about 60 seconds, lift your finger saddle will come with it, acetone to dissolve glue bond with finger or just pull it off (that all I do)

I almost always pull them out with my fret pullers.
