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.

The bolt stop on mine would not budge with a punch and hammer. The trigger pack pins came out with a punch and hammer.

I got the bolt stop out by using a bench vise to force the bolt stop pin out by gradually closing the vise on the bolt stop pin with one of the trigger pack pins and some junked PLA parts as a spacer on the other side.
