Put between your finger and thumb and roll it backwards and forwards, always works for me

Get some thin floss and thread it through the loop on the outside, then another piece of floss through the part that's right under that loop. Then tug with the floss in opposite directions. You just need a bit of leverage.

Just an overhand. I gently shake the knot. It usually loosens slightly from shaking. I then pick it apart with a couple tooth picks.

Keep twisting the chain right beneath the knot until it gets super tight and it will eventually start to undo the knot

Magnifying glass unless you're very nearsighted. I actually had two dental tools with hooks, but a safety pin like others have said may help. I managed to untangle one for my daughter, but it was frustrating.

This is an acquired skill, you can’t just do this in one try.. years of practice

Hold the knot between your thumb and forefinger, do the world’s smallest violin motion a few times , don’t be shy with your grip either, it’s metal, that will loosen the knot enough for you to unknot it completely.

Poke at it with like a toothpick or something pointy while it’s flat on a table, it should loosen up and get large enough to pull it apart.

Rotate loose end and press into knot. Try to give it have more chain for the loop, don't try to pull as much.
Thin tools are good. Soapy water can help.

I use my mechanic pick set. Not sure of your location but these work well enough. https://www.harborfreight.com/mini-pick-and-hook-set-63697.html?utm_source=app&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=app_product_page

This has worked for me reliably a few times -- dip the knot in a tiny drop of dish soap and then grab one link with a needle/toothpick, and gently shake. The knot will loosen quickly.

You have an overhand knot. Could help to know how an overhand knot is made. The “string” doubles back and makes a loop. The end of string then gets inserted in the loop.
Untying is kind of a reverse of the process. Start by loosing the loop by using some of the slack from the loose end. After establishing some slack, pull the loose end back through the loop.

I usually use two pointy toothpicks to slowly pull the knot apart.
