Loosening the opposite end will involve multiple spokes, roughly 1/4 -1/3rd of the wheel. If doing that, you might as well slacken everything, because it'll probably be easier to re-establish even tension. If you also want to replace all the nipples you have the option.
But totally reworking the wheel isn't necessary. My method should allow easy replacement and realignment. Even cutting and replacing the one spoke is easier. So consider the options and decide how much effort you feel is warranted for the wheel.
