you can try wd-40 to get it out of there even thought wd-40 is for water displacement but you might have to re grease it cause the brake clean will most likely eat the grease out of the bearing until it grinds up or seises up

You should be fine. You cannot open the bearing.

If you're that worried about it just replace it, they are not very expensive.
