K3 CW conector Problem

Oli, DL1OLI
Hello,
a friend of mine, also a Ham, bought his new K3 some weeks ago. He is still leaning all the functions, but has a Problem.

He lost the tip of then 1/4" connector of his More-key in the K3 rear connector, After removing of the 1/4" (6.3mm) plug  from his K3 he noticed that the tip is missing and still in the Connector in the K3.

Has anyone a good idea, how to remove this without destroying the connector?

This happened to me  not on a K3 but in a headphone conector on a mixing
board.    but the same connectors.     when the tip came off the
connector the tip  was attached to a  pin that extended trough the ring
a sleve.  so what was left inside the mixer was not so deep down the
hole.    with a flashlight and very fine long needle nose pliers I was
able to grab it and pull it out.  no damage done.
