Breadboard friendly to the STM8L-Discovery?

I've got an STM8L-Discovery and am having loads of fun with it.  I would like to go beyond flashing two LEDs and writing stuff to the LCD display, however, which means I'd like to breadboard.  The problem is that the STM8L-Discovery resists breadboarding.  Aside from the board being just wide enough to be annoying on a breadboard, the pins PD2,3 and PB0-7 across the bottom absolutely defy plugging this into any breadboard I've been able to find.

Are there any breadboards out there friendly to the STM8L-Discovery board or will I have to mutilate my little friend here and saw off the offending pins?

    Here's how I got around the problem with the original STM32-Discovery board:
