Hello, I have been able to pry out the sim tray using a modified paper clip. Bend out the open end, use hammer to flatten about 0.5 - 1 cm, then use pliers to bend 2-3 mm 90 degree. Use cutting pliers to leave only about 1 mm. Carefully insert this end into the hole just a bit to pull out the sim tray. Do not insert fully into the hole since the goal is to catch and wedge out the outer part of the tray. If you insert the paper clip too deep, the bent part will be inside the casing and thus you will end up trying to pull out the casing and not the tray itself. Do this gently so the tray slide out nicely. Hope this helps. P.S. I want to insert picture but I don't know how. Feel free to PM me if you need photo of the modified paper clip.
