My suggestions we 1.) Crank the engine to blow air in and out of the
spark plug hole.


while you score the cylinder with the piece of ceramic or steel which
accidentally got caught between the piston crown/rings/bore. Pulling
the head is the cheapest route around that, plus you have access to
clean up the plug hole in head.

I agree. I've seen pistons/heads that were damaged by foreign matter,
ruins the heck out of them, the cylinder wall, valves, everything. Just
pull the head and get it over with.
