I'll lower the tension only in the bass, then proceed with a cutoff wheel, cutting all the strings off, as close to the agraffe or capo as possible.  The bulk of the wire then comes off the hitches in a wad, and the short lengths are pried from the tuning pin with an awl.

Am I correct in assuming you cut the strings on the speaking-length side of the agraffes/capo?
 
Thanks,
Bert
