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.

I doubt, that hacking on a corm with a machete will take all the skin off. That would
take some judicious peeling, preferably with a potato peeler.
I agree with the whacking though, until you are in the sound stuff. I did it with mine.
