If the rim is deep/semi-deep, you can use a defluffed cotton button as a nipple driver. Use lots of force when you push the nipples onto the cotton bud, so they don't come off inside the rim.
Nipples rattling about inside the rim are awkward to retrieve. If the worst comes to the worst, keep lacing, and cross your fingers that the nipple will come out of its own accord when the wheel is spinning in the truing stand.
