So, you haven't gone 'fishing' for it yet. LOL There is one other way, but it takes a great deal of luck, patience, etc. Hold the guitar upside down and over your head. Tilt the body back and forth and see if you can get the jack come to the hole. IF you get it near enough to the hole to see, use a small stiff wire with a very small hook formed on the end. Put this wire into the jack and carefully pull the jack through the hole. Carefully turn the guitar over and lay it down...all the while holding onto the jack with the wire. Slide the washer and nut down the wire, start the nut onto the threads. You can now relax and thread the nut down. Use the screwdriver method to tighten the nut.
This method foregoes the possibility of getting the star washer onto the jack, but if you are lucky it will work. Having the star washer is preferrable. Good luck.
