take a punch about 3/4 inch around, hammer it through the filter, get a box end wrench over the part you have sticking out of the filter and turn it off. whoever changed the oil before you must have used a filter wrench to put it on... just a reminder, 3/4 turn by hand after it first makes contact

Whack a hole in the bottom and let the oil drain out.
Take a phillips screw-driver and punch it horizontally through both sides of the filter. Boom, mechanical advantage.

Yes, drive it right through the middle of the filter, all the way through both sides.

We have a foot long pair of channel locks that I've used for this. Crush it a little bit and give her hell
I had mine sick on my 6.7 last month. I was hesitant to punch a hole as if that doesn't work your in trouble.
I put in new oil, went to local shop and had them pull it off. They had the leverage from standing in the pit. Only cost $10.

Won't be able to cut anything because the threads are in the middle. You'd have a hell of a time getting it off then. Try getting the channel locks up higher towards the top of the filter where there's more strength to the filter. I know it's tight up there though.

I've had one so stuck on that I shredded the housing and had to take a hammer and chisel to the filter base, took me a couple of days irc

Try using multiple points on it. Big channel locks up top and screw driver or such through bottom. Gives you a lot more force and spreads it out.
I have given up for today back looks like I have been five stared with 60 grit so I made a bet with my younger brother who is cocky as hell because he knows more than me about this stuff he is oblivious to the matter now.
