Have a search for drifting it round & out, and the right place to apply the hammer.

If you can get hold of a dremel or similar, cut a slot like a screwdriver head into it, then use an old chisel to turn it. Or....drill a 2 or 3 mm hole near the edge ( dont go right through, just a couple of mm deep will do ) then you can knock it round with a hammer and punch.
