Jeff, I haven't actually followed myself up on this yet, but I don't think it will be a problem. My experience with thin CA is that the bond is not a tremendously strong one. If I had trouble removing CA'd bridge pins, I think tapping them all first would break any glue bond. I guess I should experiment with an old bridge or piece of maple to be sure. Lots of folks have been epoxying bridge pins in for a good while, which I think would be more problematic.
