Advice for my poor yucca

Arlington, TX

I've had this yucca about 7 years. Last fall it's two offshoots died. This spring it looked odd and leaning so I cleared the dead leaves away and found its rotten at the base! It is making new leaves. Can it be saved? Re-rooted? Could I cut it off and let it dry the lay on sand? It has been a beautiful large specimen and I want to save it if possible.

I think you can cut it where the wood is sound let it callus and replant, they are very tough.

They can grow on old wood, will double tops and grow in two directions. Or start again growing from the base. Strange formations of these across the southwest. Borrowed pics from Pinterest.
