You do not need to get them removed because you're having trouble clipping them! jeez....

You could try wearing a pair of gloves if you need to protect your hands and hold him tight. I had to do this with a cat once. It might help to try when he is more relaxed, sleepy, etc.
Or you could have them clipped by a groomer or at the vet's office.

Just wrap him up in a towel or blanket with just his head and and one paw exposed at a time. It helps if someone can hold him for you. Pick a time when he is calm and not wound up and playful. You can also have your vet do it and give you more tips.

Try a Klaw Kontrol Bag or something similar if wrapping him in a towell doesn't work. It does the same thing and holds him in place while you clip his claws. Our vet does similar ones and you can rent them for a couple of dollars a week to make sure they work for you before you buy one. For a couple of my cats using the Klaw Control Bag is the only way I can clip their claws and with the bag it just take a couple of minutes even with the most wriggly feisty cat.
