Apply anyways. I have yet to take part of an interview on either side of the table where they base the hiring decision on the requirements. My experience is that they are a guideline for the initial weed out. I would hire a gun with a year's experience in a language over a slacker with 3-years experience any day. I have 5-years, but I'm likely no where near the level of you, as I am not a dedicated programmer, opting for more application definition or project / account management roles.
