Another way to do it would be to have another servant kill him. Also, and this is just a guess, they could just break the spear that placed the curse on saber's arm.

I don't know the details but I'm sure she is going to die. The Einzbern family creates artificial beings (homunculus) to make them the vessels for the holy grail. If she doesn't get killed in battle (which is quite hard since she has excalibur's scabbard inside her body), then she is going to die when the holy grail materializes.
