I once replaced the pins by drilling the holes larger for a “roll pin”. In hindsight it wasn’t the best idea, not much or any more difficult to replace them properly like original.

I believe I’ve seen a kit to rebuild/replace the pins. Otherwise you could easily make some on the lathe or even with a file and a drill if need be.
