I think you will find it easier to remove the base plate and take the pin out. I've done it with two Vivitar and a Sigma, so it's not hard
but does that give you the satisfaction that grinding something into dust does?
When I removed my pins (by removing the mounts), some of them were 5mm or longer, pushed out by a spring - you might be grinding for some time...,

It avoids getting traces of the metal dust on your sensor etc. so I think I'd give the grinding satisfaction a miss & just beat the hell out of the pin when it's well clear of the lens.

Quite!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
