I recommend extracting it from the rear with small needle-nose pliers. I have succeeded in doing this even with the smaller 3/16" jacks. Maybe an excuse to buy yet another tool!

I doubt you will see anything useful if you open the rig.  Multi

There have been discussions of broken plug tips in Kenwood and
Elecraft group.  There seem to be two solutions.  Either change the
complete jack assembly or improvise a method to extract the tip the
way it went in.

I found one discussion here -
