Gas Cap stuck

I am in dire need of some advice.

My gas cap is stuck, no it is not locked. It is the original OEM locking gas cap. No matter which way I turn the gas cap it spins. Usually I just have to spin it to the left and it unscrews.

This is my daily as of right now and I am very low on gas and need to refuel.

If there is a way of removing the gas cap I am open to that solution also.

Thanks for the help.

research bump key or 999 key if you lost yours for anyone interested.
check it out on youtube. I know you didn't lose yours but for future reference, works like a charm
