I think I can poke something thin down into the valve to push the pin down and release the air. Something like a bent paper clip would probably do the trick.

If that doesn't work, I'll probably just take a dremel to the stem. Probably don't need to cut it all the way off, just get a hole in the stem and the air will release.
