Misc 10/22 receiver pins stuck as hell

Trying to do some cleaning but unfortunately the two pins holding the trigger group and the bolt stop pin that "should come right out" in every video I've seen... Aren't. Am I doing something wrong or does it need some "gentle persuasion" with a hammer?

And yes I did try cutting around them with a box cutter already, in case the paint made them stick. No luck.

If the punch doesn’t work, try some PB blaster, and as a last resort, a hair dryer. Just don’t overheat that area since the trigger group is plastic. But I never had a pin that would not come out with a hammer… in fact, too often they just fall out 😡

For replacement pins, the TandemKross Receiver Pins with detents is pretty good.
