Sure, if you have a dental hook that could work well but I still would consider drilling a hole rather than poking one through the plastic, you're going to want the hole to be big enough that the curve of the hook can get through and get some purchase on the back of the cap.
If you can get the hook in there and it still won't budge you might try putting a drop of rubbing alcohol at the edge of the plastic cap to help lubricate it. I've used it to help with a tight fit on plastic and rubber motorcycle parts because it helps sticky things slide but dries quickly and leaves no residue.
