Help separating screen from frame

Hi, I'm strugging with removing the display as described in step 30 of this guide:

Galaxy S6 (Verizon) Charging Daughter Board

I've destroyed two displays trying to slip the guitar pick between the frame and the display. Each time I end up sliding the pick underneath the black backing of the LCD exposing the silver material inside the LCD. In the guide it shows the blue pick sliding from the outside of the frame and then being visible when it reaches the inside part of the frame. Whenever I do it, the pick slides under the frame and is not visible when it reaches the inside portion of the frame. I am using heat to soften the adhesive.

Please help!

Are you doing charging port replacements on S6?

I strongly advise against removing the screen to do charging ports on these as damaging the LCD is almost guaranteed.

The more ideal way to do it is to shield the components with thermal tape / kapton tape surrounding the charging port, and replace the charging port itself via soldering / micro-soldering. You will need to lift up the charging daughter board a bit so that it's away from the phone's mid-frame to distance it away from the screen.

I use a hot-air rework station to remove the charging port from the daughterboard to replace it. There should be some videos on YouTube on how to do this.
