can't reach in with some needle nose pliers and wiggle it out? Mine got stuck due to debris once and I ended up using skewer sticks and bumping the upper on a block of wood. Hold the upper barrel down and bump it on a piece of wood on a workbench.. use the skewer sticks to wiggle it out. It kinda takes a third hand but I managed.

Got it out using one of those screw driver handles with magnetic tip for screw driver bits.
