How do I get these pins out. I believe the are 2mm. I can't get them to budge. I don't want the punch to roll off the pins and go into the wood.

I'll give that a try.Nail set punch.
The nail set punches come in different sizes for different nail head sizes. The are concave on the end. Get one that fits over the end of the pin. Should keep the punch from slipping of the pin.I'll give that a try.
I came to the same conclusion and ordered stainless steel rod for the pins.In the long haul you’ll be happier with steel pins. Another trick is only punch them out far enough to pull them out from the other side using pliers. Less chance of messing up the wood.
... but ... you won't be able to blue them. I've used "music wire" (aka "piano wire") from Ace Hardware.I came to the same conclusion and ordered stainless steel rod for the pins.
I'm OK with the color. If I don't like them I will replace them.... but ... you won't be able to blue them. I've used "music wire" (aka "piano wire") from Ace Hardware.
