Seconded. For "grout scraping out tool" read suitably sized flat

Fein Multimaster (or clone) with a carbide or diamond segment blade
makes de-grouting easy.

Don't know about the Fein, but the Bosch carbide blade is rather
thick & can't be used on narrow grouting without damage to the tiles.

One needs to check first obviously - but its ok on 3mm lines.

For a comparison against a 2p, see:

I'll measure a Bosch blade when I get a mo, but it seems thicker.
