A sawzall with a fine-tooth blade should work.
Or you could get a hydraulic jack and jack-it off.

There is a 3rd and quite failed method that is considered a Quick-Connect, it's pushed-on and as bubbles says it must be stupidly cut off...as I simply don't know of any Shark-Bite like releaser. If you aren't equipped for sweating-on a new tub-spout pipe, then you should call-in a Plumber to handle the entire situation.
