How do i remove these anchors? Is there maybe a way to push them further in so i can just add filler on top? I decided to refinish this piece of furniture but found myself stumped already. The anchors are flush with the furniture, so i can’t grab them from the top.

    Use a stack of washers to keep the damage to a minimum. It give the head of the screw something to pull against and spreads out the area you’re pushing on the wood.

      So… use washers and a bolt that will fit into the fitting. Start with big washers (that will allow the fitting to pass through) then pyramid up to a washer just big enough for the bolt’s shaft. Use a wrench to tighten the bolt so much that it pulls out of the wood. Interesting idea.
