So I just happened to be at the grove, and the sure fire way of stealing it directly is of course to cast fog on the plinth and just sneak in a take it. easy peasy. I always forget that, I'll probably be using that to steal the secret chamber key next.

The time I stole the idol last, was after the grove quest was over, so that probably made it easier. Just throwing it from the plinth while they're casting the ritual will trigger the "the Idol is stolen!" cutscene, but doing it when they're not is just like anything else.
