This is a common problem, no need to worry.
I have done this for more customers than I can count.
first, cut off the old plastic loop part of the key that you used to
secure
it to your key ring. use a good pair of side cutters to do this.
next get a good quality drill bit and drill a small hole ( under 3/16 of
an
inch or below) a few millimeters below the top of the key in the center,
it
ain't pretty but it works. This will not disturb the chip in the key and
render it useless.This will allow you to put the key on a key ring and not
lose it.
