<p>I don't see it as significant that the frets were pulled sideways into the board. We take them out using the same techniques as we do with other frets. Heating the frets is the best way to avoid chipping the fingerboard.</p>

<p>Just as a matter of general interest,m Fender wasn't the only factory that slid frets in that way. I recall seeing a video of an Asian guitar factory that used the same fretting technique.</p>

If the neck was made after 1983, the frets were installed in the usual way using an arbor press.<br />
If pre-‘83, normal extraction techniques can still be used. Prior to the revelation of the sideways insertion process, for decades frets on Fenders were pulled using “regular” standard techniques.<br />
Considering the Plek and labor costs, a fine quality replacement neck should be an option to consider.<br />
Good luck
