>>> Adding teeth to the chain would probably not be worth it
When the Kursk was raised they first cut it in half using an abrasive chain/cable. In that instance it was pressed down from above the structure.
"A cutting chain made of abrasive covered bushes on a thick steel wire was pulled back and forth across the hull by the cylinders. Vertical forces were supplied by the controllable vertical position of the suction piles."
