Dont touch it! 

Remove the old pin FIRST get hold of a flat punch that is long enough to drift the old pin out, DONT drill it or you will more than likely wreck the capliper. Chances are it's just oxidation between the pin and the caliper once removed the pin can be cleaned up with fine grade emery and the holes cleaned out with a drill bit.

When cleaning out the holes ONLY use your fingers to twist/pull the drill bit DONT force it and keep it parallel.  If the pin is too damage then replace it with an OE they are not that expensive.
