It seems that the issue was de-mounting the tire from the rim, NOT de-seating the bead. It also seems the issue was the people at that first shop not being prepared to deal with an aluminum rim in such a stiff tire (not to say it couldn't be done, they just lacked the skill/experience needed).

Through all of this, I learned to be more choosey about my tire shops and now am armed with the right questions to ask up front.
