I've only done a couple of cables, but simply used a pair of sidecutters
on the armour wires with no difficulty in cutting or in fitting glands.

Easy enough to cut, but to get access for sidecutters in there you
have to splay the wires open a bit. So long as you're careful and neat
here it's OK, but if you bend them every which way it's hard to smooth
them out to get the gland back together over them.

DIY one-off, just take your time. Commercial job and the wages clock
is runnning.
