Kdx 220 rear calliper

[bigdaddyadd]

Can anyone help?
I am servicing my brakes for the mot and have had a nightmare removing the 2 pins that hold the pads in the single pot rear calliper. They have been round rounded off in the head by a previous owner and clearly left in place for a very long time consequently wearing in two places along the shaft so preventing the pads from sliding cleanly. Can anybody advise where to get nissin parts to replace.
Cheers

cracked it

thanks for suggestion.
In the end found an imperial allen key slightly bigger forced that in, applied lots of plus gas penetrant, and very slowly, keeping the tool at a slight angle, applied force. It eventually gave but had to walk away a couple of times to keep my cool. When it was out turned down the head from another bolt drilled out my rounded one and tig weld the new one in to place gobbed on some copper slip, after filling and linishing pits on pin and reassembled.
She's like a new un.
