If the pins are that bad, you will probably find the pistons and seal grooves also need attention, which requires a caliper split.

I would just split the caliper anyway, you may need to cut the pins in half to get the caliper apart, then you can easily twist and pull each pin half out.

Drilling and punching would be my last resort.
