If way out of trim, he's got plenty of spinning to do. Too much speed? Will reducing thrust result in more pitch down or give more time for the copilot to save the aircraft?
If it gets to the forward stop there's no rush to get to the stab trim cut outs cos it ain't going any further. Fly it away from the ground, might take both of you, then distribute work load accordingly. It'll take something like 30 odd turns to get it back to somewhere more manageable.
