Hi Joe, The best way is always the original tool. But if that is not at hand: it is posible with a set of screw drivers that are used in the ICT . Those are longer and smaller. At the end of the hole's, on this particular radio, you can try to doe it by move the blade 25% from horizontal to verticar. Than you can open de locs on both hole's and remove the radio with sommething you use to lift on the radio side. Alway do it gently and soft to do no harm on the radio. There is always an option. Go to the nearest garage and ask them to remove the radio. For a few bucks they will help you and even give you the keys to do it. But the best way is the original.
