None really, but I used the wide Schwable plastic tyre levers to do a similar thing. The hook on the end is quite shallow to avoid snagging the inner tube, and the width gives good purchase on the bead, plus they are quite strong. I am not sure a bead jack would do a much better job, for me.
Where's Unfiltered Dregs to tell us that pinching tubes is a bygone issue with tubeless tyres.
