I'd like these cards out if circulation too. I just don't know how to make that happen without creating more problems.

Exactly this!
Look, a lot of these altered assets would never have been identified without the BO guys, mostly, with their before and after pictures. Without being able to compare the pre- alteration image with the post-alteration image, I'll bet most of us couldn't identify the specific things done to a given asset. Certainly the TPGs found the task challenging (to say the least.)
As others have repeatedly said, it's just the tip of the iceberg. There are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of altered assets out there, and the vast majority will probably never be identified as such.
So the idea of destroying, stamping, punching altered cards is, I think, more of a knee-jerk suggestion, rather than a practical, well-though one.
