Micky's idea of the tooth pick might be the best superglue trick but
you may end up in more trouble than you are in now.
Can you get to the back side of that jack without taking too much
apart?
They are generally sealed but if you can get a clean shot at the back
of the enclosure you might be able to drill a small hole in the back
and push the tip out with a paper clip. There may even be a hole there
now. I have jacks made both ways.
