I have drilled out the cylinder before. Just start with a small bit and get bigger each time. Do not go to big or it will mess up the housing in the back. If you drill it the springs and clips will release and fall out. Then you can take the cyl. out. You could also get a locksmith to come by. That would be the easiest but costly way.
