Good work, I've got to do mine soon so am assessing the best way like you...
1) Did you dremel both sides of the nut?
2) Did you damage the threads on the screw underneath at all? I'd worry about getting those SS nuts back on after taking a gouge of of the thread.
3) Was a good whack with the chisel in the gap enough to split the nut and remaining thread?
I guess you could've used the Dremel to get through the flange on either side then use a nut splitter?
Sounds like the way I'm going to go anyway, looks like a lot more work but much safer than snapping studs...something which I'm guaranteed to do!
