I find the best thing to extract them with is a pair of center pin cutters.
The tip of the cutters will grab the needle nicely if you haven't pushed it
deeper trying to get it out with other tools.  If the needle is down the
shoulder you don't necessarily need to worry about it.  But if it's up
toward the crown you can get string contact sometimes.

I guess great minds run in the same gutter....my method exactly, after years
of trying tweezers and needles and God knows what-all, including giving up
and guiltily (a new word, perhaps?) leaving them in there for the next poor
sucker......mea culpa.... ;o)
