Can I remove the tumbler? 200

Can the lock tumbler be removed on an 88 240? I broke a new shitty dealership Ilco key off in the ignition. The rest of the key will not fit in to start the car. The steering column is locked. I have called many many locksmiths. They all say that they cannot remove the key "a Volvo is just too complicated" or "I don't do them". I can remove the ignition from the steering column and replace one from the junk yard, but I really do not want to do that. I will need to drill out the sheer bolts on the ignition and wrestle around with removing the ignition from the dash. OR I could possibly remove the tumbler. This seems like the ticket. How do I remove the tumbler. Remember the key will not fit in and the steering wheel is locked. This Has become an overcomplicated mess. I am stressed to the max. I would almost rather replace something more complicated like the cylinder head. This lock is a real S.O.B. H E L P!!!
