Don't know if it will be possible to get anything done through the glow plug's hole but assuming the prechamber is intact, nothing the size of a glop plug tip can make it through the tiny holes in the prechamber's tip and into the combustion cylinder.
The injector nozzle holder should be removed and maybe you can get hold of anything by looking down into the prechamber itself. You might need to push whatever remnants into the prechamber from the glow plug's hole first. You'll want to using compressed air blow the prechamber out so that no remnants are remaining in the prechamber's tip and screwing up the combustion.
the cause of the glow plug problem could be a faulty spraying nozzle at the root of the problem. Crazy damage to the prechamber can happen if the engine has been run long with a streaming nozzle.
