They are marvelous little tools aren't they. I can remember when I was a child and we had to use a flat razor blade to rip out our mistakes. I cut a lot of fabric trying to "fix" stuff, I can tell you. Keep going though. You'll get better.

Agh, I hear you. Used to hate ripping out stitches, until I learned a little hint. From the top, you only need to rip out about every 3rd or 4th stitch, then when you have done about 4 to 5 inches, pull from underside the thread. It does speed up the process.

You'll know you're getting the hang of things when you've named all the different kinds of seam rippers you own. My favorite is Jack. But then there's Mack, JJ (Jack Junior), etc. I swear I spent more time reverse engineering than anyone in my Intro to Quilting class and then I found out it wasn't their first quilting class. Go figure.
