Thanks for all the good ideas

Start with an 1/8th inch bit and work your way up. Put a piece of tape on the bits about 3/4" up and don't go any deeper than that. Go slow so the bit doesn't catch and break off in the hole. Keep the loose pieces dug out with an "O" ring pick and after you get to about 1/4 or 3/8" put a screw driver in the lock and turn it back and forth to try and get it loosened up. If you get it to turn to the left go ahead an insert the paper clip in the hole and see if it will turn to the left enough to pull it out. Use a small hook tool or dental pick to pull on it after you get it turned.
