The High E required a "sock wrapped hard thing " as a hammer to gently tap it out.

(no damage, none at all, breathe Tim, breathe, it's all good!)
When this sometimes happen with me, I use a coin (a quarter) to get underneath there and apply pressure. Works well. I hadn't thought of wrapping it in something soft......that would do the trick!
