Angry Frt diff dipstick stuck?

Today , I wanted to check my diff oil. I never checked it since I bought the car(1 year 2 months). But the car runs fine, I think it might be a little low because I think its leaking around the drain plug. So I tried to pull out the dipstick and it wouldnt come out. Then I put some atf fluid to lube it, and it as least moves now, but still won't come out. I keep rotating it and now the handle broke, now I feel like burning the car down. lol j/k. so for a temporary handle I put a screw in the dip stick so It doesnt fall in. So right now the dipstick turns 360 and goes up and down, but does not come out of the dipstick holder. I was thinking about drilling parts of the dipstick out, but I dont want to get any particles in the diff. Also, its a very tight spot, next week, I might put the car on the ramp and try to hit it from the bottom, but I dont think it would work. I think that the upper portion of the dipstick holder is out of round, but it looks fine and I tried to widen the top part, still no luck. i'm stumped on ideas, anyone have any suggestions?
