Short of splinting his tail with popsicle sticks and medical tape I really don't know that there is a whole lot you can do.
When Diz's tail tip was necrotic my boss broke it off clean above the necrotic line but it got necrotic again about 2 weeks later and it stayed on the bottom 4mm of tail so I wasnt too worried and the day before I was going to have my boss pop it off again he threw a fit in the bathtub and broke it off himself at the necrotic line and it healed perfectly. I've had a couple issues with the regrowth not shedding properly, but otherwise it looks fine.

Since the problem is due to him tail whipping you why not just leave him alone and let it heal?
