chisel.  if you do it slowly and well, you can break it off pretty well with minimal damage to what it's glued to.  then just make a replacement corner, and put it back in like the one was before.  glue is really strong, but doesn't hold up well to shear force.  that's what you'll be giving it with a nice sharp chisel, so just be precise and you shouldn't have a problem.  i'd say practice on something else first if you've never used a chisel before, but you'd have to glue some scrap wood together...
ChadTower:
Yeah, I should be okay.  Like you said, slowly, and a bit at a time, and I'm all set.

Now, if I only had a table saw so I could easily make a new corner support triangle.  I'm going to make it look odd and use a square.  :)
Avery:
I'd remove the screws (make sure you have them all out) then use a chisel and then, to clean up the wood for glueing I'd use a block plane.

You probably don't have a plane though and probably don't want to buy one plus the stone and jig you'd need to sharpen the thing, so I'd recomend cleaning up the bits that don't come off with the chisel with a hand sander.

Don't use a chisel that you are proud of :P

?  I don't get it... I bought a set of three chisels this morning, nothing fancy but effective.
