Roofing nail in my run flat

I have just discovered a roofing nail in the tread of my rear run flat. Not sure how long it has been there for. The tyre pressure monitor says all is well. So should I:

1 Leave it there to preserve the airseal, but I am not sure whether the nail has fully punctured the casing or:

2 Pull it out as if I keep driving on it it will eventually work its way through the casing and cause a leak.

I know long term I will have to replace/repair this tyre.

Thanks for your help
