Anybody got some tips on how to open up lead split-shot sinkers that don't have the fins on the back that reopen them? Otherwise might just melt them down or load them into a shotgun shell lol.

I think the whole reason those ones are cheaper is because they are one time use.
You can spend some time with a flat head screwdriver prying them apart but they never look or work the same imo
Oh ok, hm seems like such a waste of lead when they could have just added fins for reuse.
Buy non-lead with fins and never look back.
When in doubt, just pin it.
Serious?! just how toxic do you think lead is ?
Easy to reuse splits. open them up with pliers and pushing something like a hook shank into the split to wedge them open.
Or buy a set of fishermans pliers, good for weights, split ring , cutting lines, etc etc etc
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
When in doubt, just pin it.
They work real well as ammunition for a slingshot.
