Very carefully go around the outside of the rubber with a razor, then kind of dig a chunk out. From there use a straight seal pick to gently spread the stamped steel under the gasket (the valve cover is upside down) lifting out the gasket. It's a pain but it can be done without damaging the valve cover.
