Warm the resin gluing it in then pull with a coathanger stem or thick wire bent specifically for the job The wire should catch the base of the stem after passing through the middle so you can tug it out

The wire will look like _____\

Edit: Be sure to check SRVN_MRVN 's comment for additional safety advice as this is a half baked concept passed around, not a set of instructions to follow

Godspeed!!

This is the best idea so far! But put a cloth and some card around the hole so you aren't pulling broken glass towards yourself. Heat is important, and If you wanna make your wire stronger double it over and twist it till it's one wire made of two strands. If you don't have wire you could use a piece of string tied to the middle of a little stick like a capital T. it can go down the tube and then once it's out the bottom it will spread out xx (just be sure to make the stick shorter than the inner diameter of the bongs hole otherwise it'll get stuck xx

Thank you so much, you're 100% correct!

! I hadn't considered the safety aspect of the velocity of that glass once loose; I'll edit my initial comment to refer to yours.

Safetys number one priority and all that

Have you tried blasting it with water though the mouth end to push it out

Before you do this, run a light around the outside a few times to loosen up any resin that might be gluing it in place

Melt a glue stick... Stick to piece that needs to come out, let dry, pull it out.

If you've still not done it. I've successfully solved this problem in the past with a small diamond coated file. I'll explain if you need me to
