Really don't underestimate how dark you want the room to be. I remember a guide being something like, dark enough that you can't see your hand in front of your face after 30 seconds of your eyes adjusting.
Other than that, open it up and try and not touch the film other than by the edges.

Have you tried grabbing the central part with a set of pliers? No experience with an ME, but on my Spotmatic, that part goes all the way through.

Is the thread of the part still on the camera in ok condition? Could you somehow screw something on there to act as a bodged replacement crank?
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Rewind crank came off on my Pentax ME, any suggestions on getting the film out? Obviously in a dark room...
