Here's a five page read on just cutting the belt:

I wouldn't do that, I would just put a new one in and time it correctly.

Else, you could also delete your balance shafts:

^x2 i wouldent cut the belt . either do the elimination or put a new belt on. you can do the elimination in car but it sucks to do that way (ive never done it in car i pulled my motor for a rebuild and did it then)

Get a professional shop to eather get a new belt on it when you do all your timing and stuff or just eliminate it so no more issues with it in the future.

The new balance shaft belt was unlikely to be defective. Bad balance shaft bearings can seize and cause the belt to fail. Another belt will just fail again, but next time it will get into the timing belt and your valves will hit the pistons.

Either remove the balance shafts or replace their bearings. Or wait until the engine is removed to fix the damage from a failed timing belt, when it will be much easier to install an elimination kit.

I agree, its a lot easier to do that job with the engine out, plus you can see a lot more, and replace things as needed.
