I think he said it was permanently attached to the lens. I know I could
go back and read his original post, but I'm basically lazy this morning,
possibly every morning. That makes a mistake very expensive.
Personally I'd just remove it entirely and figure out something from
ground zero, unless I thought that removal would have important
consequences.

Ha ha - an alternative reality maybe ;-)
If you're going to cut a lens shade up, before you do I would suggest
making some test hoods out of cardboard first, using the existing hood
as a template. That way you can optimise the shading for your needs.
If the hood you are going to cut is not expensive then I would try and
buy more of them as further test mules.
Some hoods are made of extremely hard plastic, others (like some Canon
hoods) are much softer and more flexible.
For a precision job a laser cutting device would give pretty clean
results. For best cheapest, sure a Dremel. Or you could use some fine
modelling saws. Either way you're going to end up with some rough edges
that will need sanding. Suggest nail files for this, rather than actual
sand paper.
Good luck!
