Can you rethread the guide pin and try to pull it out?

One of the holes couldn't be done like that because it is in the middle of the head - the other one could possibly be tackled that way.
Re-threading the pin might be a possible solution but I think the corrosion is probably going to win.

Fix the head gasket and put your diesel back together before you take the next one to bits.
It doesn't work out having too many projects.
Believe me, i am talking from experience.

I don't want to cut the chain - it is still lining up nicely at the camshaft and the crank - and it is probably going to cost me the best part of 400 euros to get a chain and a tool to fit the chain (can't rent tools where I am)
So I'd rather take out the engine than pay the extra money!
