Standard procedure if you are using the same glue type is just to put a
new glue stick in and push the old one through as you use it up.

I need to change from wood glue to general purpose glue.

Is there a way to get the old stick out and preserve at least some of it
for future use?
Without buggering up the gun, of course.

Or is this a waste of thought and effort as the glue sticks are cheap?

I dont know if mine is a particularly poor design but it dribbles
incontinently most of the time. I would have thought that just leaving it
on for 30 minute say with the nozzle pointing downwards would result in the
glue just running out.

The ones with a spring loaded ball valve in the outlet are better in
this respect - once the glue is no longer under pressure, the ball
should spring back and stop the escape (mostly!)
