I disagree that the corm needs to have skin to regrow. Although I have personally never shaved a corm right down on all sides, there are plenty of pics/videos of people who do. All the roots and outter layer of corm was taken right off with a machete and plants grew fine.

And should I continue to cut away the part rotting psudostem? The stem was 6ft tall when I uncovered it and now its down to about waist high and seems to have a moist brown center even down there.

Definitely keep wacking the stem back until you see no more rot. Its painful to do, but if not the whole stem will die back anyways. Once you only see white, it will take off growing.
