what about fishing it out of there. litterally does it have the rubber case. maybe some line and a hook might grab it. is that the defrost fent. you might have to remove the heatercore box. i guess you could possibly cut a access hole but you risk damaging the heatercore.

my s10 is offroad only and has no heat or ac, i recently punched a big hole through the heatercore area to run some wires and it was completely full of dirt from the defrost vents so thats where it goes.

but i would try one of those grabbers or a hook

Since you are this far into this....why not just remove the dash? It comes out actuall pretty easily. Remove the lower trim panels, the screws under the dash speaker covers and I think there are two large bolts, one at each end by the doors. The dash will rotate forward on pins and you will have to un-mate electrical connectors, then lift the dash out.

Have to lower the steering wheel down also.
