The way I look at it, what have you got to lose, its never gonna fire without a replaced firing pin, so get a bigger hammer and a stout brass drift.

Depending on the firing pin shape, if you can't find one you might try making one. Here is the broken and finished firing pin and the drill bit I made it from.
Between numbered, fractional, decimal and metric drill bits available you should find one the right size. All I used was a grinder, file and a drill press as a lathe using the file as a cutter. And a little sanding paper. Going on five years and maybe 500 rounds.
Annealed it to work and then heat treated it both with a propane hand torch;

I have a M243 Firestar Plus, and did a complete rebuild on it, replacing all the springs and finer parts I could get from Numrich at the time; probably would not be able to now.
