I've lifted a load recently and found the best way was to get a chisel under the grip below a nail, and use the handle of a hammer or screwdriver under the chisel to lever it up.

I've spent the past couple of weeks doing this as gently as possible as the previous owner of our new place helpfully carpeted over a lovely but very delicate parquet floor. This tool has been great: https://amzn.to/36SyPRz

Have also lifted loads. Just use a pry bar. Or a large flathead screwdriver and something solid to lever it on.
Eta - should have refreshed the page.
