The pliers trick worked great!
got a guy in the shop making me a long tap that will thread it and i can be back behind the lower so it wont get scratched up.

Seekins precison does that instead of roll pins
I just bought a Stiller Predator XT and the rear pin for the takedown pin has got a set screw so everytime I take the butt stock off the spring stays intact

I don't know how set screws would work in that application due to the catch needing to have a range of motion. but I am a huge fan of using the set screw on the gas tube that comes with Kies Gen II adjustable gas block.
Use a set of plain old pliers, tape up the jaws so you don't scar the the aluminum and just push the roll pin through with the pliers set at the wide jaw position. I learned this from Scott at SD and it works great. Just get it all lined up and start the roll pin and it will push right into place with out any hesitation. using a Hammer and a Punch on the that part is awkward and can cause damage as you have seen...
