Need help 1978 1979 1980 Deluxe door panel trim

I got this pair of later 1970's door panel trim pieces with the intention to use them. It has been years and I have not done anything. My question is if anyone has good ideas how to remove the factory speed nuts without breaking the plastic mounting pins. I had searched for these for years and broke countless mounting pins trying to removed them from the door panels. This last set I found years ago I decided to not even try and remove them. Now I want to see if I can remove the trim. I was thinking about using a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel and try to cut the speed nuts off that way. I am also wondering if I can successfully remove the nut and save the pins, is there some way to prepare the pins so they are stronger. I appreciate any ideas.
