I don't think this method would be suitable for a retained tick head.

Another problem I have with that method: Ewwwwwwwww!!! I don't think I could touch a big fat tick with my hands or fingers. I have used tweezers successfully in the past on little ticks but don't know if I could do that rolling anyway and feel that yucky tick body under my hand! I'm scared to death of creepy things like ticks - kind of like spider - fear and I don't think I could bring myself to do that once, let alone over and over. I'm so grateful we've had no ticks in this yard or house for years and years but if Tibbe ever gets one, it's the tweezers or vet for me.
