Alternatively you could just drill a small hole in each them (2 or 2.5mm should be sufficient) to access the screws. A small Phillips screwdriver is required for that. That would leave most of the rubber feet in place.
The screw holes are not in the centre of the rubber feet but a little offset to the center of the calculator.

I'm impressed what expertise there is here about the beautiful old computers. The same goes for 'teenix'. I will play around with the computer a bit more. Let's see when the critical mass is reached and I finally decide to open it. The glowing segments are already annoying me a bit.

In your picture, it looks like the right side of the rubber mount is hollow. If I poke in there at an angle with a thinner screwdriver, I could reach the rubber quite far down and thus have good leverage....

I'll keep you posted...

Thank you both very much.
