get yourself a variable speed Rotary Tool with Accessories ~ $34.99 and set that puppy on high with some sandpaper and your done.

Dremel (high speed rotary tool mentioned above)... well worth the money and one of the most versatile power tools you can own.

You'll be done with those nubs faster than you can plug it in.

And to secure the eyelids, try some clear silicone. It will hold them on very well and whenever you want to remove them for whatever reason, just tug on the eyelids and they will peel off like a sticker, then you can pull of the dried up silicone and no residue or damage will be left behind.
