Default Extracting wall plugs

Her-in-Doors has requested that a CD holder be removed which was

Has anyone found a quick and easy way to do this ? *Extraction doesn't
seem to work so my thoughts were to try and drill the top surface off
and then fill.

Thanks

I've never had any problem with loosely inserting a screw finger tight
with only a couple of turns and then removing with a claw hammer. The
wall plug usually comes with the screw. If the top coat of plaster is
particularly loose then you might pull a bit of plaster off as well
but you were going to fill before painting weren't you?
