The first idea that comes to my mind is to drill out carefully the pin and remove the flash hider. Then measure the combined thickness of the two washers and make a well fitted single washer of the same thickness. Then reinstall the flashider using the new single washer and reinstall a new pin. If necessary, a slightly larger diameter drill can be used to open the hole and realign them together and use a larger pin.
Personally, I don't usually use a pin. I usually use a small screw like a scope mounting screw, and turn it firmly into the bottom of the hole, then cut it off flush and finish. This way it won't vibrate out. This would also allow you to use the same hole, provided it's pretty close, just by tapping it.
Also, a TIG welder can be used to fuse the end of the pin and then the weld dressed.
