Any tips on how to get them out without making more mess of the timber?

When hit backwards they just bend, the heads are firmly stuck :-(

Tried punching back out after the pointy end metal fatigued off
leaving the embedded nail flush but can't get it moving!

TIA

FiL had a tool for doing this. No idea what it was called, but it was
tubular with something in one end of the tube. Apparently it was for
pulling nails out of architraves. Whatever it was, it was *old* -
certainly pre-war, if not pre-1900. Father-to-son jobbie.

Never seen a modern version.
