Trim curve with another curve

You could try extending your V curves beyond the circle.

Okay so I think I did split the circle by making the circle as a surface and split the surface with the extended V curve.

But now I cant seem to choose the bottom part of the surface. Even with List Item, I changed the integer from 0 to 1 but nothing is chosen.

You need to check that the V curve is Joined as one. And that the output has the two surfaces on one branch in order to be able to select at least one from the list.

I may have failed :(

use [Shift Paths] instead and control the number of collapsed branches by the negative integer

I'm not sure how to proceed from there now :/

Its not a straight forward issue as you have duplicates and the data matching goes astray.

Try this approach

Right. So I managed to continue from your solution, and I am now trying to create like a notch at the bottom of the circle surfaces, so that it can fit in with the extrusion underneath. 
Then I region difference-d the circle with a newly created polyline.

However, when I baked, only few were succesful.

Why is that?
