I have a micro crosscut, you'd have better luck unscrambling an egg.

Typical crosscut shredders cut materials into strips (a letter-size
sheet results in about 360 strips). Our micro-cut shredder cuts credit
cards and paper into tiny bits (reducing a sheet to about 2,235
pieces). You gain peace of mind with six times more shredding.
