How did you remove the old screen from the metal backplate?

Mine was fully adhered with an entire sheet of adhesive rather than strips present on other models, I ended up buying a new Nia used instead. I even considered making a replacement backplate which I made in Cad tho the placement of some features were slightly off because I had to measure it after I had hammered it, but the cost was not worth it or the time considering I found a used one for almost the same price as a new screen. I tried hammering, using heat, peeling chip by chip. I did not try soaking in solvent but I didn't think it would work because the exposed surface area was very low, is that what you guys did?
