Could you fire a blank to get it out?

I have used a regular cleaning rod on Squibs.
Tap on the end of the rod with a hammer, or use a wood dowl

Use a wooden dowl rod it wont mess up your threads like a steel or alum rod will!!
Use clp or WD-40(pour it into barrel from chamber side) then use hammer to tap dowl rod!!
If the dowl breaks it will be easy to clean out,then try again!!!!
