Jim. I've never removed a pad from a rifle that was glued on. I've only ever done the ones held on by screws, so I can't tell you the answer. However there certainly exists a greater chance to damage a stock removing a pad that is glued on. Getting the opinion of someone who has actually removed a pad from the exact type and vintage of the rifle you are working on would be prudent. I would love to know the answer after you find out.
