A heat gun such as the gf's hairdryer works wonders on loosening frame studs...(with her permission of course lol)

If you can cut it flush without removing it, that's your best bet. If it's a stock stud then there is plenty of thread left even after you cut it. That's a pretty common mod for the wider tire set-ups.
If you decide to remove it, you can double nut the stud on the outside part, where the footpeg washer and acorn nut would go. If it's really tight in the frame, vise grips or a professional stud remover might be the only way. The double nut technique can mess up the threads sometimes. As mentioned, heat helps but that's always scary with a powder coated frame!
Here's a stud...the long portion is what goes through the frame:
