Default Stuck Plug Boot

I was checking plugs on a recent buy and #5 plug boot pulled off the coil. It seems to be stuck quite tight. Anyone have a suggestion?

After most pliers I tried were too big, I found a long pick that was not terribly sharp. I put a bit of silicone grease on it and slid it down beside the plug, working it gently around and broke loose the sticky boot. Needlenose worked it right out.
