How to remove this type of hollow wall anchor?

I need to remove a few hollow wall anchors from drywall of the type shown in the link below. I know I could rip them out and make a big hole, but I was wondering if there was any way to "expand" them...

If it is in dry wall, I back the screw out, lightly smack the anchor with a hammer and then spackle the dimple over....paint as needed.

I don't remove them, just slightly push them in.
