They do NOT protrude on the other side.

EDIT: I should have mentioned that I WAS able to pry some of them out. It was just super difficult.

    I always use end nippers. They look like something a horse farrier would use to trim hooves. They have a round face so you can grab at the base of the nail and rock it back with ease. Nothing I have found beats them for speed and ease of use when you’re pulling nails/staples through the back of wood.

    If you want to do minimal damage, try backing them out the front side with vice grips like another commenter suggested.

      They aren’t at all visible on the front if they are even there. I don’t think they even come through on the front. I’m definitely adding the nippers to my list.

        If they really are staples snip one leg off before trying to pull the other through with vice grips or a levering technique others suggested. But how can they be staples with the bar not showing on the other side? Is this panel 2 laminated panels?
