I would try getting a bite with a chisel, and then work it off, or locking some vice grips on the lip, and then using a hammer on the vice grips to spin it off.
Or, if you had access to a welder, slip a socket inside the locks collar, tack weld it, wrench it, and you're done.

Yep punch/chisel and hammer, small air cutoff can help to make some places to bite into, but welding a nut to it and wrenching it off would be the best bet.
Also I've seen reverse EZ outs that look like a socket instead of a drill, that might work also. i think they might have em at sears.
Boo to prop and trailer locks, all the end up causing is headaches.
