I think there is more of an issue than with the lifter. why it didnt come out in the first place is maybe because its mushroomed at the end that rides on the cam lobe. there is a possibility the lobe is flat or on its way. i think i would pull the cam and check it and while its out, knock whats left of the lifter in the cam valley and get it with a magnet.

This is your best bet, that cam has to come out anyway.
