RCA Plug stuck in Amp. Help!!!!

[ATOMICxTomato 10+ year member]

So i ran into a bit of a problem. The other day when I was going to tune my amp i noticed that the Rca had broken and it left a piece of the jack inside the plug. The amp most have moved around when I turned and broke of somehow. I tried using a toothpick with superglue, didnt work. Also tried heating up the end of a nail to get the piece to stick, but that didn't work either. And im afraid i may have pushed it in more so no its really stuck. Help please?

No pics, i threw the rca's away. I have not tried using needle nose pliers but it looks to deep in to beable to come out.

Medical tweezers or a magnet might work

Use a small fish hook straighten it out the barb should grab worked for me when I broke mine or heat up a safety pin bend the end a little and hopefully that will pull it out

The back of the rca input is closed.

Also i think i may have damaged the input, I tried heating up a small pin but it ended up melting some of the plastic. Any where i could just get it replaced? I think that may be my best bet.
