That's the technique I use whenever I cut bolts. I always run the nut past the cut point and use the back side of the nut for a guide. Then after the cut removing the nut cleans and straightens the cut threads perfectly.

I dont think the issue is with the rod end but the trackbar itself. I have JKS TB's front and rear and know the rod end wont bottom out in the trackbar. The trackbar itself is what needs to be clipped.
