Out damn spot

I know this is not an alt question, but I thought given the abundant
expertise on the alt list with manipulation of photographic materials, some
suggestions might be out there on how best to nondigitally remove the
little black spots from a silver print whose negative has a pinhole or two.
I've tried bleaching and knifing followed by spotting back to match the
surround, but the repair is always very visible. My negs are generally
either 35mm or 6x6 and seem to small to confidently spot them. Any ideas
or references on techniques and/or materials would be appreciated.
Thanks,
