You'll need to drill out the lock cylinder, then. This system was designed to prevent just what your trying to do. Anthing else and you risk damaging the steering column, which will be a harder job.
You could also check with a locksmith about picking the lock to get it to the ACC position. Then, the swap will be a snap. I just don't know what they will charge for the visit and pick.
The steering column collar is a sealed hunk of aluminum, and there is no other access the the lock cylinder.
