How can I cut out the center of a polar grid in Illustrator?

I created this grid with the outer circle removed:

polar grid

I'd like to cut out a circle in the center:

polar grid with circle

So that only the outer radial lines are left, like the units on a clock.

Pathfinder "Minus Front" doesn't won't work since the grid is not a single shape.

(I use Illustrator CS6.)
