I was afraid I would do the same I ended up taping the socket to my 1/4 drive ratchet worked pretty slick.

I had taped mine as well but the tape was pretty old and I was in a rush so one bad choice led to another, so far I have drilled a hole in the floor pan and tonight I will be trying to fish it out with a pen magnet.

drill a big enough hole in the bottom to get it out. It won't hurt a thing.
