stripping ignition pins

i'll just admit it now. im a retard.

i broke my only key to the range rover in half. i had a blank spare that i never got cut because the idiot at home depot said he couldnt do it and so now I have no key.

First time this has happened to me and I guess my options are limited. Buy a new key from the dealer with the VIN which sounds expensive. Replace the ignition with one from a parts guy that has a key. or strip the pins out of the ignition. I'm leaning towards stripping the pins out of the ignition because I honestly am not holding on to the truck that much longer and most likely ti will end up with a parts guy. has anyone does this? how complicated is it? any other ideas?

Dude you live 15 minutes from NYC and you can't find someone to strip your ignition?????

or take the tumbler out, bring it to a locksmith and have a new key made
It's quite simple to remove the tumbler remove plastic covers, with a hammer
and small chisel break the sheer bolts loose and remove the lock assy.
Inside the threaded bolt hole in the lock assy closest to the tumbler is a
set screw (small flat blade) loosen the set screw till the tumbler pops out
make sure to look inside the lock, there is a spring behind the tumbler in the lock assy.
once the tumbler is out bring it to a locksmith or take it apart further and remove the pins
