Is there a way under the EU Constitution for a member state to secede?

Yes.

But it requires that 2/3 of the other countries agree, and a majority (maybe a 2/3 - don't remember) in the European parliament.

As you can see, there will be plenty of scope for real conflicts if one of the net contributors to the EU budget wishes to secede
