Welcome to the MBF group.

The face is armored...the black bezel is too. So drilling it out is not on.
If you can turn it to the II position then you can insert a paper clip in the tiny hole to press down the spring finger.
Turning the key to position II aligns the face hole with the hole in the tumbler.....any other position the tumbler hole is covered.

The tip of the paper clip should have a 45 degree bevel ground on the tip to allow it to climb on top of the spring finger to push it down into the tumbler so you can withdraw the tumbler. So when you insert the paper clip tip the bevel should face in to the tumbler because the pointed tip is going to have to ramp up on the spring finger.

As the tumbler is released so is the black cover and you unscrew it to remove, as you pull back on the key/tumbler.

If you cannot turn to II then you have to dismantle the steering upper shaft assembley.
