Dev Kit C without the external pins

Hi,

I would like to mount ESP32-DevKitC-32D on a fixture to test vibration.
Is there any ESP32-DevKitC-32D on the market without the long pins around it?
Meaning the ones in the picture attached.
Those pins don't allow me to mount my board on the fixture as wished.

I have removed similar header pins from an Arduino one at a time using a soldering iron. The plastic melts sufficiently. I was holding the Arduino in a small vice along its sides and pulling each pin out with pliers.

Alternatively, shorten the pins using side (diagonal) cutters.
