To the OP. I would cut it down and re shape it. You could get a new pipe for the cost of a professional re stemming.

Ya know what I do with chewed and busted stem pipes ? They go into a large bag , lol !!! I have a bag with 30 pipes probably , maybe more maybe less . I'd love to send that bag out and get it back all complete . But man , that would cost a ton

I've got a similar bag, although fewer in number, but I do have about a zilliin different of the removable stingers.

I got my pipe back from S.M. Frank & Co. It looks like they just replaced the entire stem and touched up the finish for me. I'm real excited to get this one in the rotation.
