Do not drill the rounds. The hot brass shavings can ignite the powder.
Get a cheap impact type bullet puller, slap the projos out, dump the powder, and spray WD-40 inside the case directed at the primer. It will NORMALLY inert it. You can then drill the case, if desired or required by law, and reseat the bullet. There are Berdan primer pullers out there as well.
The shotgun shell will be a lost cause. Best bet is to find someone who reloads them and get him to load one with an expended primer and a dummy powder load.
Again, the definition of inert and legal are established by your local authorities and you have to comply with their desires.
HTH.
