Default Stem borers

My three mystery Potatoleaf plants from Anna Russian seeds have stem borers {go figure, the only three out of 60 plants}. I read that there is not much I can do with pesticides, but one site mentioned slitting up through the stem with a razor blade to kill the worm and then binding/ taping the stem to hold it together. Has anyone tried this?
