If you can bend a coat hanger to reach the set screw then there maybe a shot .Make a magnet out of the coat hanger and single strand of copper wire -once wrapped use heat shrink tube to cover the coil .A 9 volt battery should be fine .

The problem you'll have with magnets is all the other heavy ferrous parts that are near this area. This includes the IMS drive, and its chain. The magnet will want to be attracted to these, before the missing fastener.

OK, then how does he find the set screw?
