It can be done with the emblem still on so now that I've seen videos on the proper way to do it, which I didn't the first time, I'll be better prepared to do it the second time.

Agreed. Give it another shot. I did mine no problem. A couple tips that might help other than the toothpick:
1. Clean the paint around the emblem maybe even waxing it - it'll be less likely to stick there.
2. Don't be afraid of a wider masking area, leaving some space from the emblem. This allows for more of the rubbery stuff to grab when peeling off, making it less likely to break before you get to the emblem edges.
