Choose a Drill Bit that will fit the diameter of the wire, then drill through the center of the connector. (CAREFULLY)

Then remove what's left of the connector with a Dremel tool.

This is what I've been thinking of doing. I haven't crossed the line and voided the warranty yet though. Hmmmm...........to do or not to do?
