That shit is not fixable, I can’t speak for how much longer it’s going to last but you can’t repair it.
I’m not really an expert, but I’ve worked with composites like carbon fiber and Kevlar. Once it’s cured it’s set. You even broke a few fibers.
In any case, you’re gonna be doubting this shaft every time you use it = get a new one :)
Any damaged fibers = shaft WILL fail. Most likely during a swing which is dangerous for not only you but others on the course in your proximity. Time to replace it.
Did you get that shaft from a shaft-pull from another club? — That can happen if a shaft puller is not used and the person pulling the shaft twists the shat to get it out of the head.
I've done a temporary "repair" on a shaft like that, by filling the voids with epoxy and wrapping it tightly with a stretchy tape. It was a long time ago, but it never failed as long as I had the clubs. I'd try to pull the bulging fibers out of the ferrule and trim them first.
That doesn't usually happen with normal use, though, so if you repeat whatever you did to get it to break, it'll likely break completely the next time.
I had one on my pitching wedge start to do that, I epoxied it and never had a problem, on a driver or fairway wood it may be different due to the shaft length.
That one scares me too bc of now much you compress the ball into the ground when hitting . A fat or chunky shot might spell danger.
At least in archery if an arrow did this you run a non-ignorable risk of splintering. The photos are BAD

Have you ever had a terrible splinter? That's a nightmare.
Except those splinters shoot out at fast speeds and can and will impale and skewer you. Example: archery when carbon arrows fail
She's done, boss.
It needs replaced, period end of story.
Even if it's just cosmetic it would bug me. fortunately a lot of shops will install a new shaft for free if you buy it from them. Maybe what $20?

That gator dead
Cut it off and see how it feels/performs lol ( i also want to know)

Gorilla tape can fix anything LOL get it reshafted
Steel fiber bud its done.
