Nice writeup!
Indeed!
Going at the shielding with a Dremel is a bit rough for my taste. I might have tried to use something like Chip Quik to desolder it.
I have removed some of those shieldings with a small caliper. The trick is to use the round holes and to seize the metal there. Then rotate the caliper and pull off stripes of metal like with a can opener. You just have to be careful on the soldered edges, since you can accidentially pull some copper off the top layer. With a little bit of wiggling the shielding will come off nicely.
