REMOVAL
I commonly face this question
A "mar-proof" method is hard to find.
I have in my collection of "spud" tools a steel credit card size (thickness too) plate that is intended to slip between the panel and "wall". Gently probe around the full circumference of the panel and use lightweight pulling (prying) pressure.
Sometimes manufacturers use friction to retain a panel. You might find that you encounter "push down tabs" in which case you will have to push down and gently pry.
Very common are holes in the panel itself with cleverly disguised rubber plugs that fit flush with the panel.
