I am pretty savvy working on guns and think I could remove mine if needed but it is so small in diameter I am afraid it would be difficult to re-install it without damaging it.   Definitely need the proper sized roll pin punch etc.

Probably takes what they call a cup point punch.  It is a gunsmith tool and comes in sets.  A set will cost you more than it will cost to take the bolt to a qualified gunsmith and have them replace it for you.
Like most tools the initial cost will set you back a little bit but if you like to do stuff yourself they'd be a good investment.

A roll pin punch has a dimple protruding from the tip that fits inside the hollow pin and keeps it centered.
That may also be called a cup pin punch I haven't heard that term before.

Ah it is a roll pin.  Didn't see that.  No you are correct, a pin punch is needed.  Cup point punches are designed to drift solid pins that have rounded ends.

I think moSsberg has a 10 year warranty, it would be something to check into.

If that retaining pin is anything like the moss 500 it is a pain to drift out. Be absolutely sure to use the proper size punch and a piece of wood to set the bolt assembly on. You will have to drive it fairly hard.

I had the light strike problem a couple years ago. The cleaning like Clark said worked for a while. I thought mine needed a new pin so I took it apart, all it needed was a good cleaning, light oil and reassemble. Been fine the last 2 years.

I hope I didn't post this twice but I think mossberg has a 10 year warranty.
