If the possibility of using a magnet from the outside of the case sounds like something you might try, get one of these from Harbor Fright'. It is the strongest magnet I have come across that is easily obtained.
Retrieving Magnet, 250 Lb. Pull

Got one to retrieve tools that get dropped off the dock when working on the boat. If you have ever been around boats, then you know that its only a matter of time until something visits Davy Jones.
Here's a pic of it holding a 5/16" set screw through a 1" thick bar of aluminum.
If you lived closer, I'd let you borrow mine. They are currently on sale for $19.99
