But seriously, have you tried one of those magnet wands to try to fish it out?

This is what you do. Get a magnetic wand, But get the flexy type and cut the handle off. Get some fuel hose or other thin hose that just fits the flex pipe and epoxy it on to the wand. "Fish" for it and listen for the magnet to pick up the nut and carefully pull it back out. I had to do same thing when I dropped a washer down an open intake.

I would try the shop vac. You should be able to get enough air current through the EGR passages to suck up the nut. If not, then you will have to remove the engine and turn it upside down.
Leaving the nut should not be a big problem, especially if the EGR is blocked off.

Like it was said above, the small holes lead to the intake tract, the large hole only goes to the approx half inch hole at the exaust manifold. It would not hurt anything as long as the blockoff plate is installed.

I don't THINK it will get to the rotor as long as you put a blockoff plate over the EGR mounting area. It can't get to the rotors from the large hole. Only the two small holes will allow a passage to the rotors.
