If we can accommodate the width I can take a jigsaw to the upper level cabinetry, I guess

Sawzall. You can actually be an artist with one.

As a guy who just jigsawed through his own kitchen cabinetry because they don't make the same sizes of wall oven that they made when my house was first built, I feel your pain.

For the record, my existing double oven was something like 25" x 44".

My options started at either 24"x48" or 27"x50".

As a result I now have an oven with a gap on each side I have to trim over and a set of new quarter-sheet pans because a half-sheet is slightly too big to fit.

Our house had a flipper special where they built the cabinets around a 36" fridge and we had to remove the trim and a light switch to remove our old fridge. You couldn't open the doors all the way or take out the shelves because the doors hit the wall.

Getting that fridge out had a fun combo with appliance sales guy guaranteeing me "If the fridge is there, we can remove it." with the installers instantly saying "Nope." That was painful. Then the water line installed by the flippers was janky and installing the new fridge broke that too...
