Is there an alternate way to take off my gas cap on my Suzuki motorcycle?

I have a '94 VS 800 Suzuki Intruder.

The gas tank cap is "keyed" to the same key as the ignition, and generally opens with a 90 degree turn that releases switches on either side of the cap inside the tank, releasing it for removal.

The last time I went to fill up my tank, the cap will not come off. The key turns fine in the core, but it seems that somehow the core got detached from the mechanism that releases the cap.

Does anyone know of a way I can remove the gas cap short or prying it off, or just drilling the core?

Thanks for any ideas you might have!
