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.

Use a punch and hammer. Sometimes they're tight.

I really like those spring-loaded marking things for nails. Gives a nice sharp hit that seems to get a lot of stuck pins loose.
