I'm normally setting fire to things with my eyes when working on bikes and I've been known to use a screwdriver to do it. Sounds unlucky. Or maybe I'm just fucking magic. Who knows.

:D
I too have used a big blunt screwdriver, but was gentle and slowly wiggled them back, they just hulled it in there and pulled it back and forth in way under a second. They said it never happened before and that’s how they always did it.
Oh and ref using the same rotors and cassette on my different wheelsets. One of the reasons is because I’m cheap…

I’m going to throw my 2p in and say;
I too have pushed the pistons back in Shimano brakes and never had this problem, but have seen it happen to someone. The difference between us? They boshed a screwdriver between the pistons and turned it quickly the spread them. I on the other hand have always done it slowly and carefully. Makes a difference or just lucky?
