I tried removing them to feed them in a separate container and they would panic to the point of exhaustion. If, on the other hand, the frog sees this as a daily routine and doesn't seem upset by the transfer and its working for you then by all means continue. But to do this simply because you like to interact with your frog...I just don't think its beneficial to the frog. This is just my opinion. Although I do think we have strayed from the original question. How do you get your pacman to get used to being picked up? You don't...or rather you shouldn't.
I had to handle Grif a lot after he got sick. I got him out of his tank and force fed him every night until he was well and ate on his own. I did this for 2 months. He doesn't. Mind being handled. I always wash my hand really well before I handle him. Between my fingers and past the wrists. If Grif doesn't want to be handled he will move when I. Put my hand in. Unless he's hungry then hell just sit there staring at me until I give him a night crawler or horn worm. If you are going to handle them be sure to wash your hands with hot water an a very mild cleanser so as to not harm the frog. This Is what I do.
