We've never had to cut a drum, but if we had to we would probably use a cutoff wheel to cut a hole in the drum so we could access the 4 nuts that hold the backing plate on. And after removing the brake line from the wheel cylinder and disconnecting the parking brake cable from the body clamp and the pull rod, the drum, axle and backing plate can be removed. Then use a press to remove the axle from the drum trying not to damage the backing plate.
