The shear-head bolts are only used to secure the steering lock to the column Rick. The "time honoured" method of removal is with a chisel, locate the point of the chisel on the right hand side as viewed of the sheared head and first give it a whack with the persuader to dig a groove into it then reposition the chisel so the next whack will start to unscrew it.

Once loose, they can usually be undone with fingers or at worst, a decent pair of pliers.

Either way you can get the switch out without removing the steering lock.
