Recently I took the heatsink on my KT133A chip off to put on some thermal grease, and to put it back on I put 4 drops of superglue on the corners. I would think slowly prying it off would be ok, but insight would be liked, thanks.

That would NOT be a good idea. Superglue has a tremendous bond strengh, you're likely to destroy your motherboard.

Try acetone, it should help.

I did the exact same thing except with a Geforce card.. prying the heatsink off caused no damage at all, except you have to use something like nail polish remover to get the old glue off.
 
I decided to put a Blorb on....and experiment with peltiers on the kt133a chip.....*cough*...well things didnt work out so well with that idea(but board still works!) so I left it with JUST a blorb
