I would not.
It could easily get churned up in the oil and destroy the oil pump pickup, the strainer and other stuff.
Best to drop the oil pan and get it out....not a difficult job.

Sounds like a job for one of those 99 cent telescoping magnets!

Its plastic, but oil resistant. I doubt it would hurt anything. The sump screen would keep it out of the oil pump. I found a nice 12 point socket in a mini 1100 a series oil pan once.
