ideas on how to remove a thermistor that is jammed in

so I was having issues with my printer that led to a board replacement and now a thermistor replacement.......the thermistor wires and sheath literally crumbled when I tried to get the old part out of the heat block...so now I have a Thermistor jammed in there that wont budge and cant heat the printer up because the part in question causes a mintemp error. anyone have a thought on how to get that thing out of there?

I don't think i've ever had it that tight where it wouldn't come out with the set screw loosened....

aside from that i think you'll have to pop the heatsink out and punch the thermistor out with an allen key or screwdriver, etc
