You can use the cuff of your sleeve (if you wear long sleeved tops) or a cloth to grip around the staple and remove it by hand without damaging the reed or staple.
Always grease your staples as that will allow them to fit easily as well as aid removal should the cork break off the staple which seems to be a common and unfortunate thing. Hence the name 'cork grease' - it does exactly what it says on the tin (or tube or tub).
You can always superglue some new cork around the staple where it came off (after tidying up the broken end of the remaining cork with a sharp blade) to give yourself something to grip onto.
