Keith:
By that ratiocinated logic, then everything was made to be removed; why, 
those 5/8" lag bolts look easy as pie to take out!

In all seriousness, analysis of the tension structure of the plate would lead 
me to believe that removal under full tension is a poor idea. I would check 
with Bob Beck in NJ; he's the resident know-it-all on plate manufacture and 
design.
