Best way to save my cactus?
I've had this cactus for 10+ years. Multiple moves, zero issues with it. Fast forward to this last year and my bf has over-watered him, he turned brown, dry and started growing the healthy nub on top.
Last pic is the before, the other 2 pics are as of today. I've cut the healthy top part so it can callus and be replanted. Second cutting was because we thought maybe we could save more as it is also mostly healthy.
After we cut the healthy parts we noticed the rest of the cactus that has established roots still looks healthy inside so my bf replanted him in new soil in a bigger pot.
We're both beginners so I am wondering if we're doing this right? Can we save the main part of the cactus we thought was dying? There are no mushy bits, it's just dry and brown.

Put the cut off parts in deep shade to callous.
The main cactus is recovering, it'll be fine. It's important not to overwater again.
Good luck. 👍
