    if they are the 'command' hooks -- just pull down on the tab -- straight DOWN, not 'OUT'

    If they are the old fashioned peel and stick kind of hooks, I would try by spraying window cleaner on them (keep a rag below to catch the excess) Take your time, the chemicals in the cleaner should break down the adhesive. However, if you DO damage the drywall, it is NOT that difficult to fill in with a little spackle.
