Multiple punchings leaving the merest sliver between holes until you have
the area required for the LCD. Then remove the slivers with suitable cutter
and clean up with a file. These sort of punches are not designed to be
cutting on only 3 sides AFAIK, so you need to do it like this, otherwise the
punch may have one side trying to chew out the receptacle part of the punch
with increased wear/loss of cutting edge.

Much faster method that using a nibbler. :))
