At the condition that the bevel was good, as in "shaving arm hair along the entire edge", here's what I would do:
hone on a very thin "misty" slurry, without tape, for 50 laps. This will reduce the size of your secondary bevel. (You can keep track with your magnification device).
There's no need to undo the entire secondary bevel, only to reduce it a bit. Then, reapply the tape.
It does no harm to follow the advice not to stick it onto the shoulder, although I don't really see the point of it. Before taping the tang is thicker than the spine. A layer of tape beefs them both up with the same amount, so I wonder what the problem should be. But, by all means, safe that small bit of tape if you like.
Once the tape is back on, perform 10 laps on equally thin slurry and 60 on water again. Keep a close eye on the wave of water in front of, and running up, the edge. At the start of your X-stroke, it must run up the heal and gradually start running over the middle all the way to the toe by the end of the stroke. If it runs over all parts of the edge in contact with the hone's surface, at once, that's fine too. Don't be shy of checking with the microscope: as soon as you have done some polishing on water, it's easy to see the boundary that divides both bevels.
Best regards,
