If I wanted to use them in a virtual tabletop or for my projector to tabletop game table, how would you remove these labels without messing the map up?
#1) use the smudge tool or pixel copy tool in your favorite image editor - zoom into the pixel level (you'd already have had to snapshot and copy the map into the editor - that's a given) and then very carefully remove the lines trying not to make a visible 'tell'
#2) get the interactive maps - which allow you to click a checkbox in the pdf to turn these off *and* hide secret doors
The interactive maps come with the individual pdf copy of each AP volume - however I've noticed they bundle them for sale once the AP is fully published if you only want the maps.

It doesn't always work, seems to depend on how the PDF was put together. But often I can save the base image of the map without the text by clicking the image in Adobe Reader (which highlights it, provided you have not selected the snapshot tool) and then right clicking on it and selecting "Copy Image". This option works differently than using snapshot or selecting "Copy Selected Graphic" which will usually copy the text tags as well. Hope that helps!
Nitro Reader 3 is free PDF reader software, which usually can extract the map from the document without the notes. It doesn't always work, but when it does it works awesomely.
