Hit them on the edge with a small punch and try to turn them, then grab with pliers and pull them out. Or you can use a slide hammer with a sheet metal screw attachment, screw it into the plugs and pull them out that way.

I think these are oil gallery plugs... You might want to tap them and use some screw in allen plugs...
