Tried twice with the glue idea, once using original plug and again using
cotton bud with cotton removed, neither worked. Opened laptop, socket is
closed type so I used a rotary multi-tool with mill attachment to remove
part of back and top then was able to push it out towards the front.

The tip of a 3.5m stereo jack

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.
