Default BIG problem

Alright so my dad and i just got done putting everything back together after having pulled the transmission to replace the rear main seal. we decided it would be a good idea to bleed the clutch as well since mine was sticking. While we were doing so my dad dropped the bleeder screw into the bellhousing!!!!! please tell me we dont have to completely undo everything we just did in order to get that bleeder bolt back out. is there another way? we tryed sticking a magnet through the hole were the starter is but we just couldnt drag it back up. does anybody have any ideas other than pulling the tranny back out? PLEASE HELP!!!

Just unbolt the tranny and slide it back an inch or two so you can slide your hand in there and get the screw. You don't have to take the whole tranny out.
