I meant the pins could be taken out, not the switches, although
PIC pins do seem to take a strain fairly well and don't just blow
immediately IME

If you're using the 400uA internal pullups (equating to 7k5 @ 3V)
then a few hundred ohms would be low enough to make a '0'. It
would also be halfway to an RC filter, which might be necessary
as the switches age and get noisy, in addition to any filtering done
in s/w
