Before you start cutting, take a piece of wood and jack up the engine by the oil pan just enough to put some tension on the nut, it might be enough to hold it in place.

If you have enough room to cut the shaft the go for it. I would try a Dremel with a cut-off wheel. Should be enough room in that space of the subframe. I doubt you be able to get to the threaded shaft in that area without cutting into the subframe. And you do not want to weaken the subframe in anyway.

I don't think that would work. Need some way to hold the threaded shaft.
