Actually, just use a fret saw.

I would use a hacksaw. The Dremel with rotary tool may make too wide a
slot and not completely straight. Besides it is easy to loose control
and scratch your board.

There are small hacksaws that use very thin blades (no more than a
sewing thread). I have one of German make that the thinnest blade is
just 0.2mm wide and the teeth cannot be seen without the help of a
magnifying lens.
