simple answer.... don't hit them as hard or as much.
file the pins to just barely above the wood on either side.
then slightly round off the ends of the pin. this will make the pin swell rather than just mushroom. itll take fewer strikes to peen, and be easier to see when the pin has filled the hole. till not take mush to set the pin so itll not push through. do 1 hit per side till the pin is set. how mush you can get away with hitting differs form wood to wood.
