this use dto drive me potty on USA Std Strats when trying to remove all the plastic covering from the pickguard, it would often tear when peeling off and leave some under the knobs.
I must have done thousands with it, and never broken one.

But probably not initially that preferred by @p90fool as I suspect that would fall within the statutory controls and protections of the RSPCVFS (the Royal Society For The Protection of Cruelty to Vintage Fender Stratocasters) As such I have had to search my conscience and sadly have had to whistle blow and report him accordingly. I understand that the boys from the RSPCVFS will be calling round to him to undertake remedial action and demonstrating the impact of such cruelty by a practical demonstration modelled on his kind suggestion...but with the very slight variance of swapping him for the guitar!

Only if it breaks would we need baler twine to tie it back together.If that doesn't work...

Look at this crazy contraption.
It also doesn't look like it will work in the most awkward cases, where the knob is so close to flush with the pickguard that you can't get a tool under it easily. For those I use the large knife blade on the Swiss Army knife until there's enough clearance to get the screwdriver blade under.

i used my SAK in the manner you described just yesterday. Every good boy scout should own one.
That happened on my first Les Paul, an old 70s Deluxe. I got the knob off eventually with a lot of difficulty, but the shaft came with it because the knob had obviously been loose and a different knob had Araldited it on...
I did manage to fix it by heating the shaft to free it from the glue, then disassembling the pot and fitting it back.
