Gotta be careful when doing that, as there is the risk of pushing the threaded escutcheon out of the opposite grip, if the grip is on really tight on the frame, and the escutcheon fit in the grip is not so tight.
I've done it, and then needed to glue the threaded escutcheon back into the grip because it would no longer stay in place, as it is a friction fit.
A better way is to remove the grip screw and then use a long punch or screw inserted in the grip screw hole to push on the underside of the opposite grip panel.
Basically the same principle, except you're pushing on the solid grip, instead of the escutcheon in the direction that pushes it out of the grip.
