Black Hole as a Storage Device Version 2

This is based on: Black Hole as a Storage Device

What goes into a black hole doesn't come out (except as random electrons or positrons).

However, is it possible to store something within the event horizon of a black hole and then use hawking radiation to shrink the black hole to the point that the event horizon retreats past the stored object?

This scenario has some built in assumptions:

1. The object is strong enough to withstand the tidal forces that close to the black hole.
2. You have the energy to enter into a decaying orbit that will slow the fall to a reasonable rate.

For assumption 1, we can just propose some unobtanium gotten from the same place that will give us enough energy to have a measurable effect on the radius of the event horizon.

Assumption 2 might not be too difficult to achieve since the rate of fall slows as you approach the black hole (because time slows). So, you just have to help that process along by making the spiral as shallow as possible.
