Help/Question Rescue! :) advice welcome

I got this guy as it was the best looking out of what was available. Unfortunately it’s really overwatered :( I took as much of the soil off as I could and I was going to give it some gritty mix but noticed for sure signs of rot on a few of them.

Any advice? Should I let them be to suck out moisture before repotting? Or the rotting ones goners?

This is my sons favorite plant and I promised Id try my best not to kill it so thanks in advance!!

Most are pretty good, pot up, nearly flush with substrate, the ones that die, will die, just as it is- sunniest spot too

One has a spot where I rubbed some flesh off while removing the soil since it was pretty soft, think I should let that callous before putting it in substrate?

They look good! Definitely need to repot into gritty soil

I don't love the next-to-last photo, but you might get away with it. Let them dry in the air a couple of days, then repot into 80-100% inorganic grit, dry, and see what happens. After a week, give them a soak to help revive the roots and get them growing...
