I’ve read that removing the stem is always dangerous as you could screw up the keyless works. But honestly I haven’t had any problems with that. I am using the tip of a spare stem that came with an NH35 movement to remove the stem on the DG3804. No issues at all! Some people use a tiny flat head screwdriver, which for some reason didn’t work for me.

1mm screw driver (the black one afair) is usually used for stem removals as it pushes the release down without pushing it through and there is often a slit in the right size.

From my experience NH>ETA/SW>Asian ETA>DG movements in regards to ease of removing the stem without fucking up the keyless works of the movement.
