Those caps move laterally easily once the rim and whatever metal shank they have clear the chamber. Had some luck removing a solid snap cap from a Beretta O/U. Looped a string around the snap cap near the rim which allowed enough tug away from the extractor to get the rim past the extractor. No harm done.

The Beretta extractor probably could have been pushed in far enough to remove with the rim underneath it.
