Broken locked glove box

[mbjj]

I was returning home with an air compressor in the front seat of my 98
Impreza. It shifted while I was holding it in place and smacked into my
glove box. It smashed the lever breaking it and now I can't get it open.
What's the best way to "break in" to my glove box without doing too much
damage to the dash. My wallet is in there and I'd like to get it out
without damaging it too badly. Can I drill the lock out? All attempts to
get it open with leverage have failed. Thanks

I would have thought the best way to break into your own glove box would
have been with a key, hey?
