Default help please

i.ve pulled my oil dipstick out to check the oil,and the bottom of it is missing... the thin bit where you see the level... and part of the springy bit... i dont actually know how much has dissapeared, but i'd guess 3 inches or more.... do you reckon i can drain the oil and use a bendy magnet to get it out... or do you think i'll end up having to take the sump off? cheers
