Hahahahaha!
I did the same thing myself the first time I ran rifle brass through the FL sizer!
Relax, take a deep breath, everything's just fine.
First, I doubt there's any junk up in your die.
Second, what type of lube are you using?
To me, that looks like an excessive lube dimple on the shoulder.
When I do a full length resize on brass, on the very first two pieces of brass I put through the die, I go a little heavy on the lube.
After that, it's very sparing. They don't need to be slathered in butter, just a nice light coat - enough to keep them from sticking up in that die.
I use the RCBS lube and pad, roll them around on the body only, then use my fingers to slime a little up onto the neck and shoulders. Works pretty well for me.
My suggestion is this - clean your die, check your vent hole in the side of the die, and carry on with the project.
You're doing fine...relax.
Have a great day!
