What do you do if a Nintendo DS pen gets stuck?

My daughter got a mini stylus stuck in a ds lite and I tried everything and I went to hardware store and got a long skinny screw and very carefully put it down the hole and lined it up in the middle and screwed it down a little, i tried pulling a few times and the screw came out so I did it a little more down and then I gave it a pull with some pilers and BAM it came out.. Just do it nice and slow
