Luke: You must use the type of punch that is tapered. Small enough to tap the pin and go only about a sixteenth or less into the hole. The punch must be tapered (getting much larger as you go up) (punches used for finishing nails are a good example of the kind of punch I am talking about) to have the strength not to break. What this does is tap the tiny pin out the sixteenth or so and then you can put a straight punch into the hole and easily tap out the stuck pin. Has worked every time for me.
