a) Make sure you put the lens in manual focus so you disengage any auto-focusing gears. You don't want to put any stress on them, since those gears are sometimes made of plastic. Hold the lens by the body and the focusing ring to prevent it from moving while you torque the filter.
b) If you feel the glass will break and cut you, break away the filter glass and remove it first (you can tap at it with the back end of a screw driver carefully). Use a can of compressed air to blow away any remaining glass particles from the face of the lens. You can use a simple tool like this to avoid having to use your hands while removing the filter ring. It can exert more torque than you can by using your hands alone.
c) If the filter is really stuck, then once the broken glass is removed, use a small cutting plier to put a cut in the ring to disengage it. You should be able to take it off easily then.
d) Most lenses are surprisingly hardy and can take a good beating, so test the lens for functionality. Check to make sure that all diaphragm blades open and close at all apertures and zoom positions, as well as the auto focus at all positions.

A set of diagonals work far better at cutting zip ties.
Get yourself a pair of these for the next time you need to fight with those pesky zip ties. Those ties won't even know what got em.
Better yet, use a pair of these.
I’ve learned to stay away from all-in-one tools— they tend not to do anything really well.
I’ve had a few wire cutters and this Stanley model is the one I like best.
