To make removing tough supports easier, try increasing the distance between the support structure and your model in your slicing software. Consider using support interface layers or reducing the support density to make them more brittle. You can also adjust the support angle to make it easier to remove without damaging your print.

Small supports are always hard to get off. I just grab them with flush cutters and rip them off

Two things you can do:

decrease support density... Or increase distance to something like 1.5 - 2.5mm. orca supports are ridicoulusly dense by default.
and and increase top + bottom z distance to something like 0.18mm

Flush cutter (like already suggested) and pliers can also help....as well as some gentle wiggling to extract the support.
