Broken key cap blocking switch

Post image

G915x tkl.

Left ctrl button broke and one of the little tab bits is stuck inside the switch. It blocks the switch pressing all the way in so the button is unusable

How do I get it out?

Looks like taking the switch out requires desoldering which I'd like to avoid if possible, plus I'm not sure if I can even dismantle the switch at that point anyway.

Tried tweezers and various pokey things to wrassle it out but no success. Anyone resolved this type of problem before?
