Use a knife to thin it. I used to have a box of thin ones, but had to buy larger sturdier round ones, so last time I just sharpened it with a knife and it worked like a charm.
I use a plastic one - the ones that have a floss “D” on one end and a pick on the other. They’re very thin and can also be bent to form a bit of a hook.
Walk into a store? I just use a toothpick or a needle
Last time I used a needle I caused a short. Cost me 120 euros to have it fixed
Do not use a needle. Use something wood, like the toothpick you suggested, or plastic. The needle might damage the port.
My toothpicks are not that thin.
I usually pass various phone shops on my way to buy groceries, so it’s not an inconvenience
