Stripped Air Valve

Hi Guys,
I have the rockshox X32 solo air fork on my rockrider 560. I stupidly managed to strip the valve as you can see in the picture from the top of the fork. I have so far tried to use a valve core removal tool to pop out the old core and drop in a new one but it seems too badly damaged to get it out. Is there any simple way of removing the whole section without stripping down the fork to replace this part?
I could take it into the local bike shop but just wondering if anyone knows of any easy fix before doing so. Thanks guys!

Otherwise you just need to battle with trying to remove the core.
Just bought a new top cap and bottomless tokens, had them from Germany they were half the price of the UK.
Rockrider 560 seems to have 32mm upper tube from what I can see. Is this the only piece I need do you think? Undo 24mm hex nut and then screw in the new one, job done?
