That sounds very minor, I think we can all name worse thing that we have done.

If it way up there, what is the harm in leaving it and installing another washer?

Use a screw slightly larger the the id of the washer give it a couple turns to catch and pull out with pliers - I have used dent pullers to do the same thing since they have a hammer slide its a little easier, just have to make sure you don't damage the inner threads.

A dental pick might pick its way between the bottom of the washer and the top of the leg allowing you to work it up slowly or provide a bigger gap for a seal puller.
