<< I suppose I could just drill it out, plug the hole with hardwood, then redrill it. I would imagine that this would be less visible. >> You got it. If you cant a pin extractor to work, (the current supply houses don't impress me much with the quality of the steel), try that, but I think you will ultimately drill this pin out until the pieces are removeable with pliars. Then, drill a 3/8" hole in there, plug with a multi-lam plug, and redrill for that specific type of pin block material. I would suggest starting with a 1/0 pin.
