I'm seriously thinking I may need to drill it out a bit to see if I can get it to break loose. What do you all think

I did that. That's how I actually got it to move to where it is now. That isn't working to get it further.

I say glue something to the top of the white cylinder and then pull it out. Put tape around so you can control the glue from getting all over.

Use an epoxy base glue, crazy glue doesnt work
Ok I almost bought that but was scared it would make worse. I used plain gorilla glue. I will try epoxy based gorilla glue. It was was a 2 part. So when you say tape it up I'm confused. Do I put tape around nail head? It's to tight to get tape inside whole I think

I’d be very hesitant to use a glue. It’s a fairly tight fit and any glue that wicks down between the tube wall and the plastic piece is just going to glue it in place and cause more problems.

I think the drilling idea isn’t a bad one though and a lot less that could go wrong.

Drill a hole and use a screw insert a long wood screw, then pull.

I'm thinking of taking small drill bit and drill down a bit. Then. Screw a slightly bigger screw in and pull out. Or a bit more risky would be to use a drill bit smaller that metal and drill down little bit at time pulling bits of plastic out. Then try to use the two holes to slide up like mentioned above
