Here is how I clear the route now via an example url

custom_start.php

/**
 * In this example we get the next job in the Queue
 * Considering it is the job and class
 * \Foo\ExampleQueueIlluminateHandler@fire
 * you can see things there and in the logs
 */
$core->getApp()->get('/get_job_illuminate', function() use ($core){
    try {
        $results = $core->getApp()['queue.illuminate.worker']->pop('default', $core->getApp()['queue.illuminate.queue_name'], 3, 64, 30, 0);
        return $core->getApp()->json("Job Cleared " . $results['job']->getJobId());
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        $core->getApp()['dispatcher']->dispatch('illuminate.queue.failed', new FilteredQueueEventError($core->getApp()['queue.illuminate'], $e->getMessage(), $core->getApp()));
        return $core->getApp()->json("Error getting job ". $e->getMessage());
    }
});
