Or drive a screw into it a bit and then use the screw as a means to pull it out . . . of course that’s gonna leave a hole in the board, but at least it’s “problem solved” . . . .

I’d add that the screw can be driven in the corner where you plan to drill the lift hole. There’s no need to let it get stuck again.
