Is that the walnut :American Classic"? Is it wood? As long as it's wood, it probably would benefit from a bedding job. If its plastic, I wouldn't bother.
To remove the wood, I just use a dremel. I prefer Devcon 10110, but something as simple as JB weld will work just fine. For pillars, I use Threaded lamp rod. It is cheap, readily available and easy to use. Cut a little long, grind to fit. Keep the top portion flat/level. No need to bevel it or curve it to the shape of the action... Your bedding material will do that for you. Keep in mind that the purpose of pillars is to prevent the wood or stock material from compressing under the pressure of the screw's torque, nothing more. The bedding is to offer support and prevent the wood stock from expanding and contracting causing binding against the action.
