I have an update.
First, if you can't get the pins, a 3/32nd drill bit shaft or blank is too big. Sanding down hardened carbide steel is not recommended. This would fit the EXB diffs but it's too thick (TWSS) to fit the standard 6S diffs.
Second, a guy at my LHS gave me the BEST tip. I never thought about it. Use a cheap 2mm allen key. I had three of them laying around in my toolbox. I used a dremel to cut 9.8mm off the end, deburred with emery paper and it worked perfectly. Time will tell how it lasts, but the crawler guys swear by it. The guy who told me about it said they do it all the time and the hex key pins are stronger than stock.
