I put this bar into the brick as part of a set I'm working but later I realized
I put the wrong length bar in it. So now I need to remove it but it is wedged
in too tight I can't get it out. I can press it now hard on a flat surface
with my thumbs and move the bar but only as far as the stud. Any recommendations
on how I can get this out?

Thank you

Put tissue paper or craft foam in the jaws of pliers, grab and pull.

You can't get it out. That's just how that piece is now.

It reminds me of this card I made in my Bricks Against Humanity game.

Or for some magic ...

Putting two lightsaber blades through a 1x1 brick with studs on all 4 sides.
