My first attempt and paying back the community for all the handy tips I've received over the years. I received the response below, couldn't find a helpful video at first glance, so I figured it out and wanted to share.

Good morning,
Thank you for contacting the customer service department. Unfortunately there is not a way of removing these hangers without minimal damage.
You can try searching on KZread to see if others may have recommendations, but we do not have that information.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We do thank you for taking an interest in our products.
