I know one shouldn't use magnets near watches but I have used them near quartz watches without mishap.. The rotor is very magnetic and in my tests impossible to de-magnetize, and probably magnetizes other parts of the movement anyway. 

I would suggest cutting the end off a pin (to give a square end for better contact), attach a small magnet (I have some small disc ones rescued from gift box closures, they also help in seeking 'lost parts on the floor !!') to the pin and poke it in the hole for the stem, it might just hold onto the missing bit and allow it to be drawn out.  Could possibly also just use a magnet on the old stem and try that. 

Finding a replacement stem may be less cost effective (see comments above) than a new movement anyway.

SOO SORRY, I MUST HAVE MISSED ALL THE PAGES AFTER THE FIRST (2014) !!!  :wacko::thumbsd:
