I don't see why you should start over from scratch when a small nudge will do.

What you're describing is a floating wrist pin.
OP is talking about wrist pin that is press-fitted into the connecting rod (but free to rotate in the piston).

Oh...  Thanks for clarifying that. I've only ever installed floating wrist pins. I wasn't even aware that there were wrist pins that rotated in the piston, but were stuck in the connecting rod. Damn, never too old to learn new stuff I guess. 
Cunnive, I'm sorry for confusing the issue!

When the wrist pin is pressed into the connecting rod, no additional clips are needed to secure the wrist pin, so that saves parts, and thus money.
Most* of the time, pressing A into B is simple to do in mass production.
*When I arrived at my job fresh out of school, I took it for granted that press-fitting item A into item B was going to be a walk in the park. I didn't really study the problem enough, a production line was built, and then inserting A into B resulted in many scrapped assemblies ($$$) and a bunch of unhappy folks. I ended up learning about the importance of good alignment when pressing things together...[This message has been edited by pmbrunelle (edited 06-08-2020).]
