I wouldn't even bother with the dummy round. Just keep working the part up and down using plenty of penetrating oil such as PB Blaster... it will eventually come out if the pin has been removed.

Once you have it out, you can polish the sides with very mild (220 grit or higher) emery cloth until it is nice and smooth and fits properly back it its slot. Make sure the spring isn't damaged before trying to reuse it.
