In my limited experience I have found that using the poker on my pipe tool will usually get out any dottle.

For those stubborn little pieces of dottle I take a pipe cleaner and make a loop out of it, just bring the two ends together, but don't crease it or anything, so it looks like a really long tear drop I guess. Then I take the broad end, stick it in the bowl and kinda twist it around so it rubs against the sides a little and loosens the dottle.

This would probably work but I feel like it would disturb the break in process.
