No need to cut a spoke.
Doesn't always work. Have had some alloy nipples that just wouldn't come off. A good enou grip would only wind the spoke up into plain scary territory. Couldn't clamp the spoke hard enough to prevent turning w/o gouging it. Eventually managed to torch enough off to get the remains to release.
