You are serious aren't you?
You were wanting to change the bars for another reason, weren't you ?? :??:

I can't imagine anybody really doing that......just to get the rubber plug, nut and washer out of the bars.

Before doing that, I would first find a long lag bolt about the same size as the assembly bolt. It should "catch" the hole in the plug and enable you to pull it out.
Failing that, I would just leave them in there and get a new bar-end weight assembly. It can't be THAT expensive.
