Cannot remove AK74 firing pin retainer pin on bolt

I for the life of god am unable to remove the firing pin retainer pin on my bolt for dissasembly. Most video's made it look easy by easily moving out the retainer pin with their fingers, but mine would not budge whatsoever.

I I took a chunk of old maple 2x4 piece of wood , chiseled a little cavity in the wood and layed my bolt onto it. I then took a pin punch and a brass hammer and tried drifting it out. Someone on another forum said I must be pushing it out the wrong way, but I am certain it is the correct position to punch it out, from the underside of the bolt to the top from what I see all the time.

The only thing I succeeded in was bending my pin punch this darn forsaken pin will not budge. Anyone willing to help with any tips?
