Why can't you just pull out whatever that is and patch the hole? Unless there is something I can't see in that photo, it is not that big of a deal, and I certainly wouldn't pitch that tire.
Anything short of a gash or dire old age just gets a patch, and I go on. If I replaced my tire for every bit of something-or-other that got stuck in it, then I'd be spending more on bike tires than I do on my car tires.
