Default Opening gas cap no key

my tank i bought off ebay doesn't have a key for the gas cap. I know if i take allen bolts off that it will not let me pull old cap out and put new one in. Is there any tricks to get around drilling it out im to lazy to go to the locksmith and my drill is at a friends house?

My previous track-only bike had no key to access the gas cap. Just jammed a screwdriver in there, turned, and voila!

Oh right. I should have specified flathead. A Phillips most likely won't fit. Unless your keyhole is looser than &lt;insert random girl's name here&gt;.
