I put the slide in a smooth jaw vice and used a square steel drift. My Rami had the appearance of being micro-staked in four spots, two front and rear very close to the slide dovetail. I measured the dovetail on both sides and drifted it out in the direction of the largest gap with an 8 ounce ballpeen. In my case that was to the left side of the pistol. Took about 3 solid but careful smacks and several lighter taps. I did try a brass punch but it was not up to the task.
