Drill out the middle. then turn it.

Use a 7/16 drill bit and a small punch after that to clear all the pieces out. I've done that before. just go slow so that you don't mess up the collar that the cylinder goes into. It's a messy job, and require patience. Or just bite the bullet and hire a locksmith $75+.
