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.

Especially if it's new, sometimes they need a hammer and a punch. Be gentle, small taps with a larger hammer are generally effective. Be sure to brace the other side with wooden blocks or rollers to avoid marring the table or the bottom of the gun.
