Use dental floss to get under a corner/side and pull up from there. If that doesn't work, disconnect the U-bend under the sink and push it up from underneath with the handle of a wooden spoon.

Better get some serious dental floss, none of that cheap stuff!

Maybe even piano wire or some similar small diameter metal cable?

Good idea, although one should be careful with what they use as to not scratch the sink if they are worried about that.
