what is the best way to remove (well, kill) a small wisteria (2 shoots,
both under 1cm diameter) which is growing not only in a weird spot, but
also next to the phone line marker (i know for a fact that the phone
line - don't ask! - is not buried the full 70cm deep).

is carefully digging down a little bit, & then pulling it, going to work?
would zero be better? for some reason i am taken with the idea that
wisteria fights back from removal & will just become a pest if i don't get
it right the first time. is this true?

mainly i desperately want to avoid cutting or pulling up the phone line
(again!!!!!!!)

Cut it off and within 30 seconds of doing the cut put pure undiluted
glyphosate (at the 360g/Litre concentration) on the cut surface suing a
paintbrush. If it resprouts (unlikely) do the same thing again.
