u could get a magnet and try and pull the part by scaning the bottom of the sump if your lucky enough to find it! take the sump off OR just leave it in the sump as I cant see it doing any damage to be honest!

get one of those extending magnetick bolt picker upper things and poke it down the dip stick hole but it'll probably get the bit side ways and it won't come out anyway.

if its snapped off and still in the hole you could try and screw a nut into the hole and pull it out like that.
