I may have to make on by modifying a tool.
A 3/32 drift punch fits really well.

I figured as much, they are cheap, should be able to Dremel the pin down then I would rig up zip ties or a clamp of some sort to hold it in place and be able to lean on it.

Or maybe cut off a couple of the punches short to use as levers in opposing holes, for temporary if nothing else.
