I would use one of those little magnets on a telescoping stick. That's probably you're only good chance. Grab a whole bunch of magnets and position them on top and then snake the telescoping magnet down and hopefully there will be enough of a magnetic field to draw it up.

you should be able to just remove the dust cover. you'll have to remove the starter first tho. once you remove the starter, you may just be able to use the magnet through that hole.

Try a shop magnet. Or if you don't have one, make yourself one.
Try using a piece of flexible steel rod with a magnet at the upper end. Stick the lower end in the hole and fish around carefully until it grabs the bolt, then carefully pull it out. JMO

Why did you reinstall the CPS without getting out that dropped bolt? It wouldn't have been able to start if you had left it off. It's your fault!
