It looked like only a few dozen of them. If I find more is there a safe way to remove them without harming the lizard?

if its only that many, i'd leave them to die off by themselves, as long as they dont have access to sugar then that should be within a few weeks in that enviroment, often quicker if they dont have a fertilized queen with them - the alates may survive longer, really depends where they are holed up and what species they are.
no real threat to your monitor unless there are allot of them and they start spraying when he digs them up, even then its more of a nuisance than a danger - unless Monitors have a weakness for formic acid, i dont know, but african ant species are far more potent defenders of their nests than temprates like wood ants
if you do find allot, you may want to wear a mask and glasses to remove them, they spray up - formic acid is nasty stuff, will give you a sore chest for a few days if you breath it in
