ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 7
The pronunciation appears to differ by dialect.
In British English, it's definitely six hundred and first.
American English appears to drop the and in such numbers where BrE includes it, and is presumably six hundred first.
Either audience would understand the other.
It is definitely not *oneth, just as 1st is itself not *oneth.
ANSWER 2
Score 1
It's six hundred and first. For 602nd, you should say six hundred and second and so on and on.
