I'm sanding it and get these slats off... Any help would be appreciated.

  Is there a reason why you need to sand the grille bars? Can't you just use a chemical stripper and strip them in place? Sometimes you get luck and can remove things like speaker grilles just by undoing a few screws from the back side, other times they have it fitted and glued into slots. What they may have done in this case was to use a dowel or a nail to hold each bar on from the top and then a screw on the bottom, without seeing the cabinet in person it's hard to figure out what they did.
