At the end, I have bought a nibbler but I am not satisfied, it is not
straight enough. I may very well be the problem :) I've never used a
nibbler before.

Anyway, I used the "score and snap" method:

I clamp the square and the PCB on the workbench, then I use the utility
knife to score repeatedly the PCB (both sides is better).

Then, it's quite easy to snap the unwanted piece away with pliers. A
file or sandpaper will make the edge better.
