There is always the "drill out the lock" method. Use a drill bit slightly
larger the the key area, work slowly using (best) a drill press or (not so
great) a hand held electric drill or (really a waste of time) a hand
powered breast drill and remove the tumbler section of the lock. It might
require some prying in the hole to remove any remaining keyway parts. Then
turn it with a screwdriver or a pair of needle-nose pliers.

You don't want metal chips inside the case, so cover the vents.
