The place was obviously meant to be penetrated along weak line (red arrow).I suppose when opened, there is metal connection where the shoe is screwed in place. Is it possible to cut it with sharp screwdriver, the tip of knife etc. ? Or just pushed in and broken ? Thank you.

In this case I had to add adhesive tape on the slider buckes to avoid short circuits I use exclusively LEDs I purchase in 5 m band for under 10€. This allows to keep the current very low, it is also very long lasting and the result is this Note the lighting of a full consist draws much under 50mA Cheers Jean
