Only thing that reminded us that they were alive was that there was no mold. Cut them a couple days early because the shells seemed unusually firm and didn't want anybody getting stuck.

The two larger hatchlings had minimal amounts still attached, the two smaller had a huge mass of yolk. None were attached to the eggs, and the eggs were all dried up otherwise. I used tiny single-sized "really useful box" containers with a single hole for ventilation, distilled water, and a very wet paper towel. Put them all in their own containers so they wouldn't get stuck on each other, or have much space to cruise around and drag their baggage.

All stayed in their artificial eggs for the next 4 days and all detached completely from or absorbed the rest of their yolk, and all are closed up like normal.

So yes, there is a chance he will be fine, but keep a close eye, and make sure he stays plenty damp. Fingers crossed for your little guy.
Thanks for advice, that's what's really strange there was no yolk that I could see, just the string and big opening. I'll try that and cross my fingers that it will pull thru
