I buy plants from Bob Smoley and most are cuttings. He tells me to set on top of pure perlite and don't water it until you see growth. I would put that on top of perlite and just mist with water with a table spoon of peroxide in it. I would mist only once a week and not wet the cactus at all. You may not see growth for a year. I would also not cut out the rot. I know of this happening and I didn't and mine healed itself leaving a brown scar. That cactus is now 3 years old and looks great.
I have seen some on Ebay and they are not cheap. It's aways the variegated ones that are the hardest to grow.

I'm trying this now, the rot spread a little bit really slowed down, it might work. Variegated aren't hard to grow if they are surviving on their own roots and this wasn't but it can if the rot stops and roots form.
