Conclusión

To successfully extract a cylindrical dry-cell on which you have no mechanical purchase, and which is stuck in the case because of leaked electrolyte use a manual spiral drill.

Drill it through the bottom of the battery to get a grip on it and retract it. Works like a charm!

Do not destroy the case by using excessive force.

Counter the drill at the battery-case but NOT against the torch'es topside to avoid structural damage to the torchlight.

getting the battery out is much easier than publishing a guide here. wow they make it complicated!

don’t forget to scratch off any insulating rust caused by the electrolyte on the battery–contacts of the torchlight.

fragile plastic torches may not withstand the force required to drill, breaking the torch.

unless you have a strong magnet to pull the battery, it is unfortunate.
