You may be able to make a tool to go in from the front of the socket (end opposite the wires) and release the locking tabs. May an old pair of tweezers could be ground/filed down to fit. Or a new pair of Xacto hobby tweezers could be modified.
Or you could make a tool from a thin piece of steel. The bristles on a street sweeper brush are such, and you can usually find a lost bristle by walking around your neighborhood. It is a thin, flat piece of steel about six inches long, 1/8 inch or so wide. If you want to bend this into a tweezers shape, heat it first, or it will break at a sharp bend.
Anyway, once you release those two little locking tabs, you can extract that pin from the wire end of the plug by tugging on the wire.

Depending on how many terminals you're trying to remove you might want to get a kit like this https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...ieces/ce-70-2/. If you're only trying to do the one connector you might try a paper clip or similarly stiff, thin wire.
