How do you get a grub out of a chipmonk?

As a non-veterinarian, you should do nothing to the grub - take your chipmonk to a veterinarian for treatment. The veterinarian will probably apply some local anesthetic and (depending upon the temperment of the chipmonk) also some sedative, then use sterilized forceps to pull the grub out. The grub needs to be examined by a veterinarian to see if it is a foreign disease that has to be reported to APHIS.
