Yeah, I saw it, but I was hoping I could find a way to do it with out tearing the whole dash apart.

How does the wheel lock work? Since I know the tumbler is good is there a chance that I could use brute force to disengage the wheel lock?

Edit: I re-read your pictorial and can't figure out which pin you ground down. Do you have a "before" picture? Was all of the grinding damage limited to the ignition lock?
