Just use some common sense to protect the slide in the vice, it's just to hold it steady and a rag or small piece of wood on each side protect the finish, just snug it down.
When the slide is held firmly all that's usually required is lite tap or two.

Years back (early 70s) when toilets had brass and copper instead of plastic I (apprentice plumber ,AKA pipefitter) got my hands on a lot of brass rods. Different sizes for different companies and I ended up with a lot of different caliber punches I still have them and use them when needed. Cost Zero!
Remember to mark the spot you started, go easy and if it moved you have made a adjustment. A little at the sight could be a lot on the target, so check after each seen move
