Default CD stuck in headunit

Some how my cd won't come out of the stock head unit on a 2000 accord lx. It just reads err on the display screen. I've tried everything I can think of to get the cd player out but I have had no success. Please help me!

Try needle-nose pliers?
If so, and it didn't work, I agree with got_no_sol except dont buy the cd again, smash the stock player to pieces, take your CD out, and **** on the old player. Then ride away in style with your aftermarket HU

True that might be the best option but I will be going to college soon and being a freshmen I won't be able to park on campus so I will have to park out of campus. I don't want anyone breaking into the car and don't have that much money for head unit right now but I need music in my car for commutes to college

oem cd player? can you see the disc move at all or hear it trying to release? you need to get some dental pics/scribes to be able to get in far without damaging anything and then try to force the cd up gently while the mechanism tries to release it.. that is if its even tyring..

Well I took out the head unit and disasembled the cd player and managed to get the cd out. I'll reinstall the head unit again and try the cd player with a cd I don't need. If it doesn't work I'll get a new head unit.

Well I did try using tweezers but didn't go so well. Acutally when I opened the cd player the cd was perfectly under the thing that makes the cd spin but did not know how it got stuck in there
