'Sharp' end of a zip tie squeezed underneath, squirt of GT85/WD40/hairspray, and slide it off. Push the zip tie up a little further if it's stubborn.

As above, or a jug of boiling water and lean the bike into it. Couple if minutes later, wrap a tea towel around it and pull it off with a twisting motion.

If you don’t want to keep them (I.e you have replacements) back in the day I used to just cut them off.....

Blunt end of a bamboo bbq skewer and spray of choice (wd40/gt85/brake cleaner). Less risk of scratching bars or piercing grip.

Use the straw that comes with the can of WD40 or GT85.

Any very narrow long thing to slide down inside the grip, turn bike on side and pour some water into the grip and move the narrow long thing about. Pull grip off.
