How do people go about scrubbing the mini pins away from the track? Run then on the road for a bit? Or will that totally wreck them?

Yes, I'd guess running them on the road would do more harm than good - or at the very least lead to premature wear.
As others have mentioned, the typical way to limit grip-roll is to use nail clippers to trim off the outer row of pins.
Otherwise, all I typically do to a new set of my own is to work the new tyres/pins over with a foam-filling sanding block just to take the "fresh" off of them. From there, it's not unusual for anyone to find it takes a few runs to "break-in" their tyres to the point of them being good.
