Thanks.

I have done it. Mine was brass, which is fairly soft, so, I basically
just carefully, with screwdriver and flat screwdriver, tapped on one
side to start it folding into the circle, after that folded it in more
with needle nose pliers, and eventually it came loose, and I pulled it
out. I cleaned the hole good, being careful not to enlarge the hole.
Then I epoxied a new one in.
