I agree with the screwdriver with the two points, but I have found that often I can persuade the stem out pretty easily with the point of an awl. Just find an irregularity in the surface, press the awl against that, and tap its end in the out direction. Or just press it in that direction. It is also possible to work from beneath (usually the holes are drilled all the way through, in which case you are pressing against the stem in the direction you want it to move - up - so it might be easier. I have never needed an easy out (not that the situation has arisen all that often).
