They are cheap to replace, and as said should be treated as a disposable item.
That said, I have never had to cut one off. Clean the threads up with (preferably) a wire wheel on a grinder/drill, or failing that a wire brush. Soak in penetrating spray and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Get your jack under the drop link ball joint, and apply (not excessive) pressure to the base of the drop link.
This is where having an impact gun comes in handy, as the nut will just buzz off. If not, you're going to have to do it by hand.
Following that ^^ I have never failed to remove one intact
