Last time I spoke with Apple, they said the old paperclip force eject ended with the TiBook. You were able to use a paperclip on those models. I know, I did.
Another method that's worked for others on the forum:
Shut down the computer.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Then hold down the mouse button and the eject key as the computer boots.
If no joy: (WARNING - Try at your own risk)
1. Credit card on left side of slot. Insert as far as you can still hold on to the card below the disk.
2. press the boot button.
3. feel something hit the card ad remove when you see the disk coming out.
Another thing to try is using post-it notes. Take 5-6 of them and insert them sticky side down and make sure they go over the disc stuck in the drive. You can get discs out sometimes that way as well.
