Transplanting seedlings

 My peppers this year had a rather irritating germination pattern. I swear I
was paying attention when I put in the seeds but it sure doesn't look like
it. Half the cells have all their seeds sprouted (2 or 3) and the other
half, nothing. 
Normally I would just pinch out the extras in each cell, but...germination
time for peppers is long and I got started late. Rather than replanting I
want to separate out the multiple seedlings. They have their first pair of
true leaves at this point. What technique do I use to gently separate them?
I heard you are supposed to handle them by the leaves not stems? Should I
wait till they are more robust or not?
