Read my earlier post. Lucky for you the tip is hollow. A bit of patience and finesse will get it out. You need some precision screwdrivers, a long self tapping screw, and a cable you can cut some shielding off of. A Ethernet cable ought to work. You may need to file down the tip of the screw a bit if it’s really pointy, but get it wrapped in cable shielding then twist it into the jack tip. That might be enough to pull it straight out, but if not you should be able to work it out the rest of the way with the small screwdrivers.
If you can get the screw into the jack tip, work it out of the socket while turning it clockwise to keep it lodged in the tip. Otherwise a flat headed precision screwdriver with some lateral pressure applied ended up doing the trick for me once I got it about halfway out with the screw. I used a thinner screwdriver to press the metal tabs inside the socket out of the way.
