Cutting out sections leave compromised remains. Do it once and do it right.

I agree it would be smart to replace the dash harness with a new one from American Autowire. Don't get me wrong, if the damage is minor, go ahead and fix it with matching color and gauge GXL wire. But it sounds like yours is pretty toasty.
