Use a large bent spoon or a Baskin Robbins ice-cream scoop or a plastic cat litter poop scraper scoop that is made for this purpose.

That pin will probably bend like a PVC pipe. bye a new pin at Target. But spell bye - buy, and you must do this in order to get the 'Targeted' sale price. bye again.
