It is indeed glued in. Mask off around it (or better yet, tape cardboard around it with a 1/2" hole fit over the end pin) and then saw off the end pin. Then it will be easier to drill out (vs. trying to drill through the pearl dot on the full pin)

Step bit / Unibit is a good way to open it up to 1/2" after you've drilled a pilot hole in the pin.
