I had the same problem.
Sorted it out by drilling, aslong as you have access to a vice its definatly fine to do.
get a drill, put an 8mm drill bit on it, wack it into a vice, keep spraying gt85 onto it as your drilling to keep it lubricated. make sure you drill perfectly straight!
since its thick steel use alot of pressure and go nice and slowly with the drill.
I asked the guys at work (bike shop) about it first, and yeah its common practise.
