I am very careful to remove boards like this, I don't like to break the
extractors.  Once I get them removed, I give the card edge a wipe with
one of those "gold saver" wipes made by Chemtronics and others.  It adds
a little touch of a silicone lubricant to the fingers and reduces the
insertion force by about 5x.  Plus, it cleans the gorp off of the gold
fingers.
