Here is how I would fix it.
1. Use a dremel with a bit the same diameter as the straw to a wd40 spray to carefully drill a small hole in the center of the button that is stuck in. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL TO "BARELY PENETRATE THE BUTTON JUST BARELY ENOUGH WITHOUT DRILLING INTO THE INNARDS"
2. Once the hole is drilled using a micro screwdriver, insert the screwdriver shaft into the hole and pull the button up/out.
3. Once the button is up/out spray a shot of the wd40 into the hole and around the perimeter of the button which is getting stuck. Allow to soak for a few minutes.
4. Work press the button in and use the screwdriver to work it out and repeat until loose again.
5. Make a clever escutcheon to cover the hole you drilled out of something small flat and round.
