Since it's soundin' like you're gonna have to pull this head one way or the other . . .
Turn it upside down or on its side or end, whichever way gravity will make the pesky scrap fall when it comes loose and tap GENTLY around the top and sides and see if that will jolt it loose. Please, don't be whalin' on it.
With the head off, blow some air at low pressure in the hole where the file tip is. Duct tape over any hole you can find where the air is coming out (bubble soap is good for finding those holes) except for the one closest to the hole in question. Then drive some air at higher pressure through that hole to try to blow it back.
And if that fails as long as you've identified the holes it connects to, I'm gonna suggest the wire again. Stranded and insulated, fairly heavy gauge. I don't know the diameter of the holes you'll be dealing with, but if you can get 12 or even 10 gauge in there, try it. As far as getting it around corners, use a pair of needle-nose to bend the very tip of the wire to somehere between 45 and 90 degrees. Start it in from the bottom with that bent tip facing toward the first corner, and by twisting it while pushing, the wire, the bent end will get itself around the corner and work its way up through.
I can feel for ya. We've all chased around some oddball thing like this, but it ain't worth scrappin' a head over. Just be patient with any of the various methods that have been suggested. Any one of them could do the trick.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
