Unless you are wanting to save the valve and springs for some reason the best method is to cut them. You will be forever trying to take it apart otherwise. A cut-off wheel works as do other instruments of destruction. That's just the nature of the beast with an engine that is completely curded up and even at that it is a major job getting the guides out. You will be far better off replacing the valves and spring and guides on an engine in this condition.
