Is the gun gone? I see no safe way of fixing this. My only though is to perhaps try to get some kroil penetrating oil into the loaded round's gun powder to neutralize the gun powder and then mash the squib and the loaded bullet back into the case enough to open the cylinder.
A Gunsmith should be able to remove the barrel out of the frame then remove the bullets from the barrel. If he can't save the barrel, you would just need a new barrel.
