I went around the circumference of the seals doing this until they came out. I worried about scarring up the bore that the seal housing fits into with this method though..

That's exactly what I do. There's a few tools out there that are supposed to make removing seals like that easier, but I've never found it worth spending the money on one since the screwdriver works. As you mentioned tho, you do have to be careful not to scratch the cam or bore...
