Happens all the time on old wires.

Use long needle nose pliars, I usually opt to try to use a flathead screw driver and pin it against the side and slide it out - whatever works for ya.

Also, depending on how big (tall) the grommet is, you can sometimes just put the 5/6 spark plug socket on it and pull out the spark plug (if there's still a little silver left at the top to grab the inside of the spark plug socket. Just shine a flashlight down in to see.

My brother's integra did that when we changed the plug wires too. I just took off the VC and pulled it out with my fingers.
