Thank you so very much for the reply!
Yes, I was stupidly trying to save money and instead rekey myself.
I spent a half hour drilling on it until the drill bit folded over... Made absolutely no progress in all that time.
I am just going to pay the $200 and be done. Got to get a new lock anyway (didn't help using a screwdriver), plus a couple other parts. Lesson learned: Mercedes are a bit more pricy and should quit with trying to save money.
