Pull it.

Dump the powder in the garden. Nitrates are good for the soil.

Pop the primer and trash can it.

Reuse bullet and case.

I will generally try and reuse the round. If it works, then it tells me my gun is dirty or malfunctioning. If it doesn't work a 2nd time, I pull the bullet, dump the powder, don't worry about the primer and toss the rest of the cartridge in the can.
