   If you could get a picture of what they look like I could probably 
tell you if they're one use only or not.  I work at a body shop and run 
across tons of these every day.  Usually the ones with something in the 
middle are meant to be reused, either with a screw-in type center or a 
pop-in type center.  The solid ones are usually one use only (or two if 
you're lucky).  We have special tools to get them out (various 
flat-blade screw driver type tools with slots in the middle, angled so 
you can pry), but you can use flat-blades and pliers/vice grips if you 
are careful.  Whether you can save them all or not, walk into any body 
shop and they should give you some unless they are worthless cheapskates.
