If you go the Sawzall route, you need a 12' blade. You're right that it will shake the wall and cause "nail pops" on the other side unless you're better than I at this.
I'd treat the soft wood with boric acid and sister the studs using screws. In fact, screws for everything or you will get the nail pops.
