You can try using a very slim extendable magnet and get lucky or you can drop the pan. Sorry I thought this was a 1250.

i removed the in and ex cam shaft, accumulator, then use a steel wire and a magnet to fish it out.

it's ok now.

Good work- i use two of the magnetic ariel type magnets and use one to remove the old shim and have the new one ready on the other to fit.
