Breaking them off probably would make me feel better, but also probably isn't the best course of action.

Yep, cut, weld, smooth, and paint!

This is what I did but I didn't have any difficulty. I also used a very large wrench so I was able to apply a lot of torque to the tie rod. I also didn't have any issues with damaged threads as mentioned in the original post.
