I normally use little tiny cuticle scissors (the ones with the curved baldes). There's sort of a technique to it. Obviously, the idea is to cut a small opening in the egg without harming the contents. Its preferable to not cut the inner membrane with blood vessels, just the outer egg "shell". Again, I would wait at least 24 hours, if not 48 after the first pips. How many days has it been since they were laid, and at what temps? I ask because occasionally an egg pips early due to some sort of stress or problem. In that case, its fine to let the others incubate normally until they are ready.
