Removing sticker from playing surface of a vinyl?

I recently got a copy of Daft Punk's Alive 2007 (stoked!), but while playing it for the first time, on side D I noticed what looks like a piece of label sticker that might have accidentally made its way onto the playing surface of the record after pressing. Without using too much pressure or scraping, it still wouldn't come off, and I'm kinda nervous to use more force to peel it off. Has anyone dealt with this issue before and are there any safe ways to get it off the record without damaging the grooves?
