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.

Push it out from the other side, or put a screw in it from this side and pull it out. There are different kinds of inserts with different types of barbs so it might splinter the wood.

An alternative is to drill it out.
