Here's the thing. I lost my stylus, so I started using toothpicks for the touch screen. I put too many in the stylus place and now they can't come out! any suggestions?

I strongly suggest buying a new stylus rather than using tooth picks they're pretty cheap and it will be worth it as you'll avoid ruining your screen.

As for the problem can you grip any of the toothpicks? If that's the problem then try some tweezers or something

You have to get something you can grip the tooth picks with like tweezers or many even a needle or something you can push them out with.

and one more thing, wouldn't using a toothpick eventually make holes in the screen?

Toothpicks will probly damage the wires in the screens because of how sharp the toothpick is.
