I assume, considering the relatively small amount, I should consider it lost...
I'll give a try using some typical passwords I have been using, but I'm not that optimistic :/
Thanks for the support!
I'm a bit confused, do you can't find software which support BIP38 or you don't remember the password?
If you can't find software which support BIP38, you can use https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org and run it offline. You just need to scan the QR code and copy the encrypted private key previously, example of BIP38/encrypted private key
If you forget the password, your only choice is only to brute force. But obviusly it's possible if the password isn't too long and you remember characteristic of the password (such as only uses lowercase and the last character is "%")
Things would be different if someone would make BIP38 brute-force tools which support GPU.

Since then, CPU power got cheaper and Bitcoin got more expensive, but if you used any serious password, the only way to recover your funds is if you can somehow remember the password. Maybe start with common passwords you've used at the time, possibly with small variations?
