I haven't taken my shroud off, but I hear it's a pretty easy job - 10 bolts/screws or so. Look at the DIY for changing oil.

There's actually a flap that is only a very small portion of the undershroud and only requires 4 bolts to remove instead of the 10+ bolts. This might be easier to try first if you can get your arm in there to reach around for the lost fastener - if not, you're already on your way to removing the undershroud

Just make sure you do this when the car hasn't been operated in a while - last thing you want is to burn your arm on something really hot.
