You could just leave it in.
Better a working DS with a stuck stylus, than a broken DS with a loose stylus.

So buy a new one? Your DS is still functioning, and you'll have to keep track of your stylus, but... if you can't get the stylus out, what else can you do?

@Op, Is it really that serious of a problem? You really cant stick a flat head screwdriver and pry it out?
I think he's just scared of scratching up his DS.
Cover the vulnerable parts of your DS with tape or something, electrical, masking, something that a scratch won't go through.
Try a butter knife, and pry it out with all of your strength. That way, if you slip, you won't cause a scratch to your DS.

Just try your best and use a knife and HEAVE!
This hasn't happened to me, so I can't say too much. Is the stylus that important to you? Maybe you could slowly grind off the stylus with a dremel, but that's also very, very stupid. Again, I don't have experience with... stuck styli.

I've tried pushing it out as hard as I can, it won't work. The stylus is behind the edge of the casing, so I can't get at an angle to pull it out. I've gone ahead and bought a tri-wing screwdriver, so yeah...brandonspikes said:
Well, be careful, you might break your DS in the process...
And remember, static electricity is a killer...

The drill and screw method already mentioned is probably your best bet without taking the case apart. Take a small drill bit in a dremel or drill, and drill into the end of your stylus. Then screw in a thin screw a little and pull on it with a pair of pliers. This may kill your stylus but it should get the thing out. Otherwise if you take the case off it's not hard to remove the piece of plastic that holds the stylus and get it out undamaged. Just be careful opening your DS.
quick edit: by kill your stylus I mean make it not that pretty. It should still be functional on the important end anyway.

If I recall correctly from swapping out my DS case, I think you have to remove the battery anyway to get the case open.
Also there should be some good take apart guides on youtube.
I was just going to follow this guide until I can see/remove my stylus, then move in reverse
Edit: btw when i said bought a tri-wing screwdriver, i meant from deal extreme, it's not coming for a while

More to the point, I mean, if you touch any components on your motheroard, you may fry them, and your DS will be dead. So avoid touching any part of the motherboard except the very edges.

@
BigOnYa:
Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X) -
