It's not as bad as you might think. The "template" is already imprinted on the dash itself and it's a case of taking your time and not cutting massive chunks at a time.
My tip would be to leave a 6mm border inside the indent of the glovebox area and cut short towards the bottom of the glovebox. Just keep trimming away millimetre by millimetre so you don't end up going too large.
Also use a very sharp knife and for cutting away at the dash. You can also use a file but that will just end up creating a lot of mess and dust.
If you want to use a dremel, you will need to buy plastic cutting discs as my metal cutting discs simply melted the dash I was cutting and generated a ton of smoke!
My next challenge is to cut a hole where the centre speaker goes to install a centre channel for my PP-82DSP amp, and I also plan to upgrade my HU to an NBT EVO.....fingers crossed.
