Carefully heat it and twist it out....or buy a new tip. You can get a pkg of 3 Berkeley tips for $1.99 at any good sports store.

you can cut the spring bobber off with some side cutters. and if you don't know how to smooth the  point that is left, try a ball of epoxy to make it smooth.

Exactly Rebelss!  Just heat the metal on the tip up with a lighter, twist off, and replace with a new tip.  If you have a fly shop around, they should have a tip that will fit any sized rod you have.
