Does anyone know what tool I need to remove this? I've noticed there are also two holes on the opposide side of the board, under the chip, which show the chip's bottom side. I don't know if these are meant to insert a tool into to push the chip upward and out.
It's a PLCC
Something like this ought to do it.

Using a screw driver is most likely to crack the socket, which will then not hold the chip in place very well.
