i would say ethanol is your best bet... but besides that.. you are pretty much in a bad spot. I feel for you

Try using tweezers to lift it out. Make sure you ground yourself during the process by touching the metal case of the PC constantly, and don't stand on a carpeted area while doing so. Be sure not to bend any pins as well.
