Pilot Screw tip broke off, stuck in Pilot Outlet, 1978 KZ1000 A2

like the title says, i got a big problem.
I just bought this bike, it had been sitting for about 5 years, and so i tore apart the carbs. took out the pilot screw in one of the carbs, noticed the tip was missing, went to blow out the carbs, no air went through. looked in with a flashlight and sure enough there it is lodged in there. tried bending a needle and pushing it out, cutting an angled tip out of a flathead screwdriver, and nothings worked yet. anybody have any ideas?
