I've had reasonable luck using a wire, bent on the back, held
in place with a clip, then sheared off with a nipper (diagonal
cutter, dike, diagonal plier, whatever it is where you live).
If you do it carefully, you can get a VERY flat via.  Note that
the cut is made before solder is applied to either side.

Good luck!
