eh, i wouldn't worry about it, it doesn't affect the sound it's just the dust cap, but you can pop it off then hot glue it back on if you want to fix it that bad

try using a small vaccuum or some other sort of small tub and use it to "suck" to the dust cap, and then gently pull out

Duct tape. Stick a little to the center and gently pull.

it's glued... you'd have to use like an exacto knife and take it slow.

take 4 or 5 toothpicks. put them together.
put a drop of superglue on the middle of the cone, and put the end of the toothpicks in the drop, and let dry.
pull up on the toothpicks, and it should pop out

This is the safest way, I've done it before. However I didn't use duct tape I just used regular tape.
