If the problem is due to a jammed tumbler then cutting up the column lock assembly isn’t going to fix it. There is a way to surgically extract the tumbler and fix the internals so that it won’t jam any more. I’ve done it on my own 2003 V70. If interested I’ll try to find the YouTube video that describes the process.
