You might get lucky and drift it out with a suitably sized flat headed punch. If not purchase a case extracter kit.

I had a .22 Hornet case separate. I ended up being an animal, got the callipers out, found a suitable size twist drill and carefully drilled out the case in bits.
Never damaged the die at all.
From memory, I think I ran the drill so slow it snagged in the brass and that ended up removing the last bit.

Drill the bottom of the case and thread.
Run a bit of threaded rod in to the case head. Socket over the top.
Few washers and a nut and tighten - will pull the case without spending a fortune on a kit.
Electric drill, 8mm bolt, 8mm tap drill bit to suit, socket and washer. pulls them out no matter what size.
Homemade is great, but if you are going to be reloading regularly over many years, I think the Hornady tool is worth having.
I bought mine 25 years ago. I've used it 5 times, and lent it to friends 6 times. Like any tool that's right for the job, it solves the problem with minimal time and stress.
OTOH, you may feel a bit of ad hoc garage engineering is all part of the fun, in which case, all power to your elbow!

Exactly this, It has happened to me in the past and a bit of prising twisting and pulling has always managed to get them out, I have never had to drill and tap yet but looks like a good idea if all else fails
