I fought with mine for weeks (CVA wolf), blasted penetrating oil on it every day and used the tool from CVA (just a flat flimsey thing that you can't get much pressure on). I was able to punch the pin low enough to fit a screwdriver in slot. My buddy borrowed me his Craftsman hand impact tool set and that did the job w/about 4 taps of the hammer on it.
 
Did you try Liquid Wrench? Sounds like you neglected this area of your firearm. Not being mean. My cousin did the same thing. his firing pin assembly was rusted but able to be reconditioned. Once I showed him what to do he hasn't had any issues.
Worse case you can tap the firing pin back into the hole, drill the center of the bushing large enough to get and easy out in there and order a new bushing/pin/spring assembly
