What would a sotapanna do?

Without hesitation, kill the worm.
The sotapanna has overcome attachment to moral precepts and rules (sΔ«labbata-parΔmΔsa) and is therefore guided by the conscience developed in the heart.
Now, a trifling evil act done by what sort of individual is experienced in the here & now, and for the most part barely appears for a moment? There is the case where a certain individual is developed in the body, developed in virtue, developed in mind [i.e., painful feelings cannot invade the mind and stay there], developed in discernment: unrestricted, large-hearted, dwelling with the immeasurable. A trifling evil act done by this sort of individual is experienced in the here & now, and for the most part barely appears for a moment.

My guess is that a Sotapan would look into alternative removal of the worm but eventually probably get rid of it one way or another.
