I know it is painful to suggest this, but before you break the ignition cylinder (that's about a $90 item and then your keys won't match), you should consider disassembling your shifter housing and removing the reverse lockout mechanism. You'll need a special tool which you can make from an 11 mm deep well socket if you have a grinder. Take it out of the car, flip it over, and you'll be able to access the mechanism.
It is a lot of tedious work to do this (several hours). But, if all the wiggling and jiggling hasn't solved the issue, this is where you may need to go.
