Are you able to drive a small drill inside the pin hole ?
If yes, simply drill the handle througn the pin then, from the opposite
side, carefully bore the hole until it reaches the roll pin.
Then use a rod and a hammer to push the roll pin.

I have a vintage lathe that needs to have the cross slide
thrust bearing shimmed. I'm not 100% certain, still need
to get more light on the subject and blow the hole out with
air, but I think the handle might be mounted with a blind
roll pin.

OD-

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a blind roll pin? How was it
installed? Can it come out the way it went in?

Yeah, a blind roll pin is installed in a blind hole. You push it in, but
heaven help you if you ever have to remove it. Sorta like those dinky,
doofus axle caps on coaster wagon wheels. They shove on easy, but not made
to remove. Sue Nim describes the roll pin puller, I have a set of them,
they
kinda look like a needle file, but one side has rather aggressive barbs.
You
push them into the roll pin hole, then gently and squarely pull the puller
out, and, if the stars are correctly aligned and you had an extra bowl of
Wheaties that morning, out comes the roll pin!
