I don't know if there's enough ferrous metal in it for a magnet to work. You could get a small parts tweezers or a jeweler's four prong pick up tool or go ghetto with a flat head screw driver with gum on the tip.

Mine did that too - ended up removing the assembly and shaking it/fishing it out

Aside from magnets and convenient specialty tools, the ole' shake it slightly till it falls out trick seems to do the trick lol.

I had this happen to me when I was putting side marker lights in my S14
