That is why they put a pair of tweezers in the scale. Use them to grab the end of the needle.
O.B.
Push the needle in all the way and the tweezer has nothing to grab. Even if it did, the tweezer is too bendy to get a good grip. You would need a plier for that, which means yet another tool you would have to carry to retrieve an item that you may need once a decade, more or less. Is this a nutty thread, or what?
BTW, for years I have stuck safety pins here or there out of sight in my jackets or street clothes in case of need, and sometimes wear a pinned on button (Go Bucks) that can do the job. Those do come in handy sometimes.
