Default plastic shelf-support male-part broke, wedged down in hole. How remove?

I volunteer to measure hole and plastic male part with dial caliper
and get proper bit and drill new hole an inch away.

Answer: NO!, you'll make it ugly.

So, how to get that plastic piece out of the hole?

Thanks!

drill a small hole in it and insert a screw


That would be my choice. No reason to make a second hole, either use
the screw or just drill out the support. I'd replace it with either
better plastic or get metal supports.
