help I dropped a valve cover screw in the oil drain hole

I was replacing the valve cover gasket and I put the gasket on the head and was pushing it down because I used some of that form a gasket stuff then was using the screw to line up the holes when I accidently dropped the screw in the head and I heard it go in the little oil drain in the bottom corner. What do I do ? I was going to try and find a big magnet and a see if that works. or the vaccum cleaner but the head wouldn't fit. I don't think it dropped all the way down but it would end up in the bottom of the oil pan in theory if it were to go all the way through right? I guess what I'm trying to ask is Is it freakin stuck or will it just drop down if I pour oil down the hole? any help appreciated.
