I highly recommend that you call Yamaha (your regional Yamaha contact information is listed in the back of the Owner's Manual). Get ahold of a Service Technician. Explain what happened and let them talk you through what to remove (what not to remove) and how to best recover your guitar pick.
I've learned that things like opening your keyboard is often more involved than you might think. Reach out for help. The good folks who work in Service at Yamaha can tell you what to remove and importantly, what not to remove.
I could scare you with nightmare stories --where removing the wrong screws can dislodge internal items you do not want to dislodge; but hopefully just that mention should be enough. It is extremely easy when you KNOW exactly what to do versus making your own best guesses.
Let us know.
I took a long hard look at things... bright flashlight.
I was able to fish it out with a flattened bamboo skewer, fun tac on the end, stuck it to the pick and prayed.
I got it.
Don't use guitar picks to hold down keys, use the old and reliable matchbook.
And, as they say ...
Case closed.

Or an approved Sustain Pedal. Right tool for the job and all that.
