retrieval tool would be worth a shot, either the type pictured below or a magnetic telescopic one, should be available locally
1. If you have a magnetizer then find a small diameter, bendable steel rod, magnetize the end and go fishing.
2. Find small diameter tubing that can reach the hardware and attach it to your shop vac with duct tape and the suction should be able to grab the bolt.
