You have two options at this point. Easy and hard.
1) Easy: Smash in another star nut and make sure it goes in properly
2) Hard: Smash out the old star nut, you'll need to typically do this from the underside of the fork (you may not be able to do this depending on the fork you have)
This is of course assuming the entire steerer is steel/AL. And not say on a sleeve inserted into a CF steerer like some Cervelos.
