I had to use a big hammer and a brass drift to get the piston out of my master cylinder. I thought mine was seriously rusted, but it wasn't, the rubber cup was just stuck/glued to the housing. It looked pretty rusty from the outside, but was OK on the inside.
Don't worry about the piston being damaged from your hammering, I would think that a new one would be contained in the repair kit.
