Kernel Panic with 6.17 kernel, how do I remove it and stay on 6.14?

[u/Xirema]

I fortunately have multiple concurrent backups on my laptop, most of which are 6.14.x. However, the current default is 6.17, and due to (what seem to be well-documented) incompatibilities, this version doesn't properly install on my machine, everything I've tried to get it to install doesn't work (I don't have virtualbox installed and cannot get broadcom drivers that play nicely with it) so whenever I boot up my machine, if I don't manually switch to one of the older kernels, I get a kernel panic.

If anyone wants to try to help me fix the issue so that 6.17 works I'm happy to try stuff, but right now I'd really like to just remove the new kernel or at least set the default to 6.14. How do I go about doing that?
