as for getting it out ... I'm assuming that it's the tip that's still in there which will be held in by the spring of the tip clip
plus ... if you've dropped it .... it's probably bent the central conductor ... you could well have pushed the assembly out of true .... or broken the plastic sleeve.
but generally the earphone socket is a sealed unit

so once you are in the case .... what are you going to do ??
if that's the only problem cut your losses and go for the usb option
