bad new bud you can do one of two things either bust out your pass taillight and reach around OR used a hack saw and have someone pull the truck up a bit and cut the striker off the truck the part is 18.00 at honda alot cheeper than a taillight i just got done with the same issue

You could take a 1/8" drill bit, drill some holes into the lock cylinder (just to weaken it), and then hammer it in with a screwdriver.

Is it busted and your key wont turn it?
