Help! Dropped screw into engine bay, now its trapped on underbody panel
So, without physically removing the underbody panel, how do I get it out? Fast acceleration? Rapid braking (doesnt look like there is a place for it to drop out in front)? Sharp turning (like a skidpad circle)?
Or is it trapped there until somebody removes the underbody panel ?
Or does someone have a cute trick? I tried just banging on the panel but it just bounces in place.

Great idea.. but where is the "outlet" of the front underbody panel?
Do I just move the screw backwards or is there a gap somewhere in the side I can get it out from?

If the magno tool doesn't fit and you don't have stands to take off the panel, just jack one side of
car up in the air, and have it roll out. 
not kidding. I was lazy and dropped a bit down there when I was doing my plugs and I just jacked one side up and out it came. haha
