Cutting carbon seatube?

So this is probably going to be considered one of those dumb questions from a newbie to bike building, but I got a great price on a cannondale supersix hi-mod and by great price I mean free. The seatpost clamp was overtightened and it cracked the carbon just under the clamp. It looks like it stops maybe 1cm under the clamp and I was just wondering if it was stupid to just cut off the cracked part of the seatpost? I know you can cut down the carbon on the steerer tube of a fork and I was just wondering if you could just do a similar cut under the crack to stop it and then just start your seatpost from there. Like I said its probably a completely ridiculous question, just wondering.
