You really only have one option- keep trying. You may need to insert the removal tool at an angle to engage the clips. Slipe them in just far enough to get them to "clip" into place. If you still can't get it, the only other thing to do is remove the CD player, then remove the (2) 7 mm bolts below the radio and (1) 7 mm bolt on the slide brace in the back of the dash. You will need to look in the hole from the CD player to see it, and yes it will be a booger from the bottom. Then unclip the dash and unplug the radio and press the retaining clips from the back.

Still no luck, seek a pro installer's help. He might be able to get it out in about 2 minutes. Especially if he has worked with a few stuborn radios like yours.
