Could I just bake the squash and scoop out the pulp? Cutting hard squash is a Biiii.... BIG pain in the neck!

Summer squash is usually very easy to cut (zucchini is a type of summer squash). I think you're thinking of winter squash and for those, I just nuke em for 2 minutes and they're easy to slice through without slicing an arm off. :)
