I've seen videos of people hammering them out and in before, but if it's possible to press that sounds much easier than whacking at it.
I believe most spring pins are hardened spring steel (something like 1080). While you can drill it with a HSS bit, it would be a slow process. A cobalt bit(M42) would be the best option, and still ugly. Drilling it out would definitely be my last choice of methods.
