There just so deep that when it happens it sucks...

Might try putting the glow plug back in, tighten it down again and then remove again. It might break it loose!

Put some vice grips on the end of it so there no way for it fall to far into the cylinder and then tap it back in with a hammer till it loosens up a little. Spray PB Blaster around the core and let soak for several hours. Then use the vise grips to work it in and out a little while twisting but be sure you do not get ruff enough to snap it off. You may have to repeat this a few time before it will finally slide out. I have done this several times and it will come out.
