Place a stainless steel pin in each hole and then grind both sides smooth.

Short answer: Even TRYING will cost more than a new pan AND finish destroying the pan.

You don't, at least not at home. You'd have to get someone to do stainless welding and chances are excellent that it would cost as much as a new pan.
My mother has a stainless frying pan that's 68 years old and still in working condition. I can't imagine how a stainless pan gets pinholes but it suggests that the pan is in really bad condition and more holes might appear soon even if you get the current ones fixed.
