I use a couple of round very strong magnets glued to a wooden dowel. Magnets are same diameter as the dowel. Lift the plate, stick the magnet in and pull them out. Also, I use it if I drop a live primer upside down in the second station.
I have a small vac that sucks them right out. I haven't used the press in a while, a year, but I bought a slide-in spent primer tray an eBay seller is 3D printing.
