Drill some holes on your pattern and then cut between the holes with an air reciprocating saw, with a short blade. I like a 4-1/2 grinder with a metal cutting blade, but it wouldn't be practical in such close quarters. A sawzall or jigsaw would work for the cutting, but an air tool is smaller and more maneuverable.

Nah, you'd only need enough to cut between. I'd use three or four. Other than a starter hole to get a blade into the purpose fo the drilled holes is to make shorter runs between cuts. You could get by with one starter hole if you didn't mind cutting the whole 360° with a blade.
