How do you do the first step, uncrimping the lip, NEATLY?

I tried very hard tonight and failed. I could find no way to get

no way to get even the tiniest knife under the lip.
Help!

There's no real way to do it neatly. The lip is generally not visible once installed so mutilation isn't a big deal, just try and avoid chewing up the sides.
