Optiloader ATMEGA328p-pu Issue

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
22

I planned to stick my recently flashed chip in my UNO to see if the bootloader functions, but the gap between the chip already on there and the socket is too narrow for me to fit my flathead screwdriver to remove it. I guess I'll have get an IC puller unless you have any suggestions on alternative tools.
This is appears to be the bootloader that optiboot used:

image_t PROGMEM image_328p = {
  {
    "optiboot_atmega328.hex"    }
  ,
  {
    "atmega328P"    }
  ,
  0x950F,				/* Signature bytes for 328P */
  {
    0x3F,0xFF,0xDE,0x05,0    }
  ,
  {
    0x2F,0,0,0,0    }
  ,
  128,
