Strings stuck in the bridge

[JonJon]

Hey guys,
my A and D string is stuck in the bridge in the process of changing the strings.
It's been a few days and many attempts of poking it through the bridge using the low E string, but it doesn't seem to budge at all...i guess the solution to it is to just try harder in poking it?

Anyone had any of these experiences?

Below are just some photos

Try using a small screw driver??

Take a paper clip. Make a 90 deg bend and hook them out.
