You should just get a vaccuum with a really long and thin attachment (no homo) and try to suck it out.

is it stuck in the spark plug area, or did it drop inside the engine?
if its in the spark plug area just grab some long tweezers and pull the ****** out.

id try using forceps, like for fishing. If you cant get it that way, then you'll prolly wanna pull the valve cover. Not too too bad to do... Def dont burn it out. Thats a terrible idea.
