yes, you can cut the sensor off, and then twist the two wires together and zip tie it out of the way. Then you can reset the service code and not have to worry about it.

You likely routed the sensor incorrectly the cable stretched and tore internally.

But the warning will persist will it not? I've tried resetting in the past but without removing the sensors to no avail...

I did this with my rear sensor, because when I was sent two front sensors when I did my last brake job, so I figured I'd try that method with the rear until I had time to get the correct sensor.

I was able to clear the code, and haven't had any issues. In fact, I never did get another rear brake sensor (that was about 2 years ago).
