Default head placement or no?

during the latter part of my cam swap a friend broke off the pen magnet into the pushrod chamber and we cannot get it to come out, should i take the head off?

if i do i know i would need a new gasket, anything else?

If you take it off you need a new set of bolts as well.

yeah you will need to pull the head off and get that outta there. Along w/ the gasket you also need new bolts.

i got to the passenger side bolt in the back, and its stripped i've tried to knock a 12mm onto it along with 1/2 inch (13 originally) but none of the above work, i bought a set of sockets for stripped bolts the kind that screw onto the bolt but i can't get them on, is the head bolt some high carbon steel that idk about?
