What suburb are you in?
I have a proper set of removal tools that you could use if you are close to Langwarrin/ Cranbourne.
They can be tricky to get out. You have to put the U shape removal tools in and pull towards outside of car whilst someone else is pushing from behind the radio.

Dont force it mate as it will rip the front fascia off and the radio will still be stuck inside. I

The other suggestion is to use Allen keys instead of coathanger as they are stronger and don't bend when you try to pull them towards the doors.
Good luck

I had this problem with my stereo too, someone had broken the clips off when they installed the phone hands free kit and it was a ***** to get out took me 2 days but I managed to get it out without breaking anything. I found if you use a piece of piano wire with a 60 degree bend about 1cm from the end you can get it onto the outside of what remains of the clip and by turning the wire push it back in... it's still a ***** to do, but it's better that ripping the fascia off your HU
