Dont be...its probably going to happen again and you can just replace it in less than 2 min.

Thanks guys for all the tips, did it without intake removed. No holes cut in the car, just a little skin off the knuckles. Advanced sells a nice 1 1/16 deep well socket that worked great. I agree also that taking off the intake may be the way to go. I might have saved myself 30 minutes by not taking it off.
