can you tap the casing against a block of wood - may take a bit of time..
I wonder if yioiu can get some water past it then heat it up so the steam pushed it out?
.... but try warmiing it up and tapping first.
small magnet?
I woldn't try glue in case you glue it to the casing

If you can drill a small hole down the middle(ish) of it, try pouring some oil down it. Then get something matching the hole and hit it slowly in. The
resulting pressure should lift it out.

... but if the dowel is spinning, may not be easy 
what about using a vacuum cleaner or your gob to suck it with a piece of plsatic/rubber hose? (with vaccum cleaner would need to use duct tape to
make a good seal)

depending on how easy it is to turn with a screwdriver, i woud make somthing with a bladed end like a screwdriver. epoxy it on and then turn it in a
drill will gently pulling out.
OR
I am sure there is somthing fairly innocuous you can buy from the chemists which dissolves carbon steel but doesn't attack ali. I can't
for the life of me remember where i read it or what the chemical is sorry

If you're not in a hurry, get some boric acid from a chemist - it eventually dissolves steel, but leaves the ali untouched.
Make a dam around the piece using plasticene, pour in a strong solution, then go away for a day or two.

BTW: It's not dangerous stuff - just keep it away from your eyes and mouth, and don't let it get in contact with your skin too much.
It's used as a wound disinfectant and ant killer!

It is actually antiseptic and is used as an eyewash and to treat cold sores, I was prescribed it for eye problems. It's used in artificial tears
and industrial eyewash solutions. (It's also used to treat Thrush in women but we won't talk about that)

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
