If you have a very stable hand you can always take a  _fine_  red felt
tipped pen, preferably water based, and 'spot' the pinholes out on the
negative - at least in the highlights (the darkest bits).

The benefit of spotting with a red pen as opposed to black is that you can
see where you've spotted if you need to wash off the ink because you made a
mistake.  This is obviously a lot easier with 4x5 and 120 film than 35mm,
but it can be done.
