That picture doesn't tell the true story. The outboard part of the wing is very light structure compared to the inboard. The wing is a fuel tank and it holds up the engines and it takes the full impact of the landing gear when it lands.
The leading edge of the wing is very light secondary structure.
Anyway it doesn't need to cut the steel,just punch it out of the way,and it's bolted together with shear bolts not tension bolts.....
