Excellent point. He should have, as much as I would've hated it. However, seeing as it was a possession issue, they didn't know what would happen it Stiles died, would it even kill the Nogitsune? Or would it have just hopped bodies, killing his best friend but not solving the problem? Or would it have even needed to hop bodies? We know from Noshiko that it can possess a dead body.

I thought as soon as the learnt what the scroll said they should've tried it, whether it worked or not. At the time Stiles was looking at dying any way, from a slow and horrible death by mind degeneration (that they did know was faked by the Nogitsune)
