I’m sure a little manipulation on one of those tool inserts will do the job. £15

The tool I made is actually 1/8" stainless steel TIG welding wire. Its nice and ductile so quite bendable. Stainless steel bar is much less ductile and tends to fracture when sharply bent unless significantly pre-heated ie near red hot. The welding rod can be bent easily when cold
It is an awkward job to fit the trim but if you persevere it is possible, good luck.
