Tiny little O-rings on mixture screws

I should of asked this question 10 years ago. Every time I pick up a fixer upper, I spend way too much time and frustration trying to get those little o-rings out of the carburetors.
Any tricks or tools I should be using?
What size are they? Where do I get a bunch of them?
Thanks

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationPartzilla has part numbers. Z1Enterprises.com has o-ring dimensions.

The EB o-rings below should fit my carburetor pilot adjusting screw orifices, since the dimensions match.
I didn't do an exhaustive search & viton might be preferable to nitrile. note: seller doesn't say how many o-rings are in a pack.
