I have the same apprehension before tackling the project. So I asked a few engine rebuilders (professionals) who have done this task and they all said the same thing.
"Drill it out and stake it". Then I pressure tested all the squirters to make sure they don't get displaced during operation. Pressure tested them several times and was satisfied about the replacement job.
Remember one thing: the piston squirters are made of soft thin aluminum tubing material and use a drill bit slightly smaller than the hole. The drill bit would grab the squirter and spin it around inside the hole. Pull it out and your done with the removal. I think it took just a few seconds to get the squirter out.
