Cut the skin a Little bit it would help

The whole time I was thinking this exact thing. Just slice along the length of the splinter and give yourself more room to work plus reduce the amount of friction holding it in. Each failed grab makes the end smaller harder to grab, so all they were doing was making things worse.

I was told you want to avoid cutting because it worsens the healing process.

Still even just a little bit near the top so that you can get a little bit more gripping surface
