Get a pair of needle-nosed pliers...
Take the pliers and firmly grasp one prong of the "e" and push forward on the other prong with your thumb while pulling away from the shaft with the pliers. Pops off every time, no fingernails required.

(man that sounds oddly similar to some of those army hygiene movies back in the 40's)
: Ok - I've lost most of my fingernails and bruised several fingers.
: Just what is the best method to remove those damn "e-clips" from the base of joysticks? There must be an easier way than placing a fingernail on either prong and pushing till it comes off or you rip yourself to the quick!
