So I was changing my oil today, and when putting back the cheap magnetic oil plug I got from amazon, it broke, and the magnetic piece immediately attached to something inside the oil pan (it made a "clank" sound). How bad is it?

Can I leave it there? Do I have to remove the oil pan to remove it? And if so, what tools do I need to remove it, couldn't find a DIY for removal.
