    Maybe very carefully with a small chisel and hammer.

    I agree. Chisel and hammer. A grinder with a masonry does a fast job.

    You might want to consider an oscillating tool. They are very versatile and a worthwhile addition to your tools. You can get an inexpensive one from Harbor Freight.
