Removing the lock cylinder requires far more disassembly than just replacing the electrical switch, because the mechanical cylinder assembly interfaces with the steering column. I felt it was too invasive, since the problem was only the switch. On the other hand, I removed the side vent, hoping (in vain) to get better access, so I have no claim on consistency.
If the residue of red stuff on the set screws was not Loctite (available in red, blue; and green), whatever it was seemed to lock them just as securely as Loctite.
