    You could try using a thin sharp object, like a sewing needle, and heating it up with a lighter, and then stabbing it into the broken off pieces. Once it’s had a few minutes to cool off, hopefully the melted plastic sticks to the needle and you can pull it out.

      I was thinking about dipping a toothpick in super glue and touching the stem after spraying some activator on the stem, but your style sounds better.
