Like you have any way to prevent that should it decide to erupt.

Good wishes on the solution to the real problem, though. I'm guessing
you are probably with me on this, but the idea of drilling into the
front of the round to drain the powder is not something that I would do.

I think gently tapping on the nose of the round with a dowel would be
safer than drilling. It sounds like a few gentle taps should do it. The
round got jammed in there by the forse of the slide closing, so it
shouldn't take more that that to dislodge it. I wouldn't use a hammer to
hit the dowel, but a moderately long stick. That way if anything weird
happens, there won't be anything metal in the way. Just make sure the
muzzle is pointed in a safe direction at all times.
