One way to do this is for the diamonds to all be with the corrupted gem in water. Once Steven is in the water with the other three diamonds, all that's needed is Pink's essence which is in his tears.

#StevenUniverseFuture #Spoilers His family/friends hugging him and reassuring that they would still be there for him, even when he was literally a monster, brought him to tears. Once his tears mixed with the water his physical corruption was healed.
You can think thats too simple but it was working with a mechanic that has already been established within the show. Steven's largest hurdle in Future is not his actual trauma, it's feeling like he can't talk to anyone about it or ask for help because they would think less of him
Steven was saved in part because he had healed his family and had created a better world than he found including building multiple support networks so when he fell apart he had folks to help put him back together again, literally in the case of the Diamonds.
The lesson isn't hugs solve mental illness it's that you if you do the work to build a community that supports one another based on empathy and mutual aid you can rely on it when you need to and you shouldn't be ashamed of that! It rules!
