My Dance did not have your problem but other Piettas did. Prop the barrel, so the wedge has clearence to be driven out. I use the edge of a house key (more likely bronze rather than brass) as a drift punch. Pound with a hammer on the edge of the key to knock the wedge out then grease the edges of the wedge to prevent sticking. I use the edge that is the grip part of the key.
