You do not need to cut it very deep because it is only about .030 to
..040 thick. When you get it off, grease the stud before you install a
new shock on it.

I would first hit it good with PB Blaster or other good penetrating oil
and soak it for a couple days. I would then maybe hit it with heat or
tap it with a hammer to crack the rust, then use vise grips on it to see
if I could twist it off.
If not, I then would use the dremil tool to score a cut in it. I think
I would be worried about the nut splitter damaging the bolt because the
sleeve is so thin.

Likely a wast of time. Split it and be done with it. One more thin if
you want to try to twist it loss use a small pipe wrench not vise
grips. The teeth in a pipe wrech bite iton surface in one directio and
to not depend on a brute force crush to gripe like vise grip which
grip sleeve to stud even more.
