If there is nothing to grab, the only thing I can suggest, short of removing the tube, is a magnet or a very small set of needle nose pliers. See if you can grab it and let me know what happens. If needed, I'll explain how to remove the tube, but that is a last resort.

If you follow the dipstick toward the engine, you will see a bolt holding it in place. Once the bolt is removed, the dipstick tube will pull out of the engine. There will be a rubber o-ring at the end. Make sure it is in place and not damaged when you reinstall it. It is a good idea to place a thin layer of oil on the o-ring prior to installation.
