I want a reverse answer to the question so I can remove the block of plastic stuck on my ES builds.

On my ES-3 build, there is a extremely thin piece of rosewood from the fretboard underneath it, if I try the "Would be normal" approach, and just tap it with a hammer, I'm almost certain that veneer will break off with the nut.
As it is, from the bone blanks I've been able to get to create a new nut, only one seems to have enough height to replicate the plastic one.

And that's only if that veneer remains.

If you're scared of damaging the veneer by removing the nut, all you need to do to prevent that from happening is get a craft-knife with a very sharp blade in it and use it to score around the edge of the nut, if you've done it right the nut should come off cleanly with a few taps with a block of wood.
