If left in place it shouldn't be going anywhere since it's magnetized, and besides the oil pickup screen would screened it out.

The last thing I'd want to do is drop the pan, But thats me

There is no screen in the oil pick-up. Just a funny looking narrow slit in a half of a ball welded to a tube.
