You could try using a thin sharp object, like a sewing needle, and heating it up with a lighter, and then stabbing it into the broken off pieces. Once it’s had a few minutes to cool off, hopefully the melted plastic sticks to the needle and you can pull it out.
To improve this method, stick the needle in at an angle, and then lift straight up and out (not along the angle of insertion, or lever it out. This way you can get it to come out even if it is poorly or not adhered to the needle.
That seems risky! It’s so small, unless you have an extremely steady hand (and preferably experience) it would be really easy to accidentally get glue on the sides or top

Additionally, if it’s a needle you don’t care about, give it a pass with sandpaper. Rougher texture will make it adhere better.
That worked. Good idea!
I was thinking about dipping a toothpick in super glue and touching the stem after spraying some activator on the stem, but your style sounds better.
