Just use a large ROUND SHANK screwdriver with the tip rounded to avoid scratching or gouging the sealing surface and pry it out. Or make a ROUND prybar just for this type of job. An old bumper jack handle can be a good start. You will need it again for other core plugs and other jobs anyway. Put the tip inside the leftover ring on one side and pry against the other side of the ROUND hole to pop it out to where you can grab with pliers if necessary. Usually they come right out easily for me. Putting the new ones in is always the PITA in the job, aside from the coolant dripping out onto your face Laughing
