Trunk lid or any rubber bumpers for that matter…

Hello,
Has anyone tried to install the rubber bumpers on the trunk lid, hood, doors etc. and ripped off the nipple rendering the bumper useless? I have.... Does anyone have any good tricks to install them?
I used dish soap and a small screwdriver which didn't work. I think I need something with a blunt end but small. Any and all suggestions would be helpful. I just don't want to buy more rubber bumpers if I can help it. Thank you.
