You are right they are a pain. I spent today building an combo Omni-bot/tower/arm lifter. You can also take 3/4 to 1" dowel, cut to 3"-4" lengths, put a 1/4 x 1/4" hole in it and now you have a pin pusher. I've made a few dozen, plus the pliers and handed them out at events to teams that are having problems.

The newer pins are not as tight, and I think they are shipping with the new kits.

NO TEETH!!!
I know teeth are not meant to be used like that.

I did it a few times anyways out of the desire to get the experience over with. After all, I'm not buying or making a tool to use 3 or 4 times. I can use my teeth carefully 3 or 4 times.
