It won't move because you're not using the right tools.

Get it in a vice, as suggested, to hold it still

You need a punch, not a drill bit.

A drill bit has a pointed tip, which will splay open the end you're trying to punch out.  A punch has a flat end that will knock out this pin.

If it won't shift with a correctly sized punch then you need a bigger hammer.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Presumably DH he is using the drill bit upside down so effectively making it a punch, but yes, if it won't shift you need a bigger hammer
