How do you actually get it back? Friend of mine has a portfolio website in their name they’ve been maintaining for well over a decade, they missed one payment and some scoundrel bought it up and is demanding thousands of bucks for it.

There is a grace period of 1-2 month before the domain is put back to sale.

No need for any tricks, just go to your registrar and extend/restore the domain. The fees are huge though, usually.
