fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 1.4 GiB, 1465909248 bytes, 2863104 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

and of course now I can't turn on SSH.
Is there something else I need to do to force a full restart?
Your only choice is to replace the defective eMMC chip.

You can put it on a wall charger, reboot it, and allow it to just sit there.
It may take days to finish the restart because it has to reboot after fixing each error.
