בגד. שנתז עליו דם חטאת ויצא חוץ לקלעים:
נטמא חוץ לקלעים. לאחר שיצא. ואי אפשר להכניס טומאה לעזרה:
קורעו. ברובו. וטהור מטומאה:
ונכנס ומכבסו במקום קדוש. ואע״ג דבגד שנטמא וקרעו ברובו עדיין הוא בטומאתו מדרבנן עד שלא ישאר בחבורו כדי רוחב סודר, הכא שרי להכניסו לעזרה כדי לקיים בו מצות כבוס, כיון דמדאורייתא כשנקרע רובו טהור:
נוקבו. לטהרו מטומאתו. ודוקא נקב כשיעור שורש קטן דבזה טהר מטומאתו ועדיין כלי הוא ומקיים בו מצות, שבירה במקדש, אבל אם ניקב נקב גדול, דיצא מתורת כלי, שוב אינו נכנס, ושוברו, דרחמנא אמר וכלי חרס אשר תבושל בו ישבר, בשעת שבירה יהיה כלי, והאי בשעת שבירה לא הוי כלי:

זבחים פרק י"א משנה ו׳
Bartenura
פוחתו (hollows it out) – for a metal utensil is not pure from its defilement with an mere incision, but rather with a large incision. But however, after it is hollowed out, they strike it with a mallet and fasten it in order that the name of a utensil is upon it. For at the time of scouring, it must be a utensil.
פוחתו. דכלי מתכות אינו טהור מטומאתו בנקב כל שהוא אלא בנקב גדול. ומיהו אחר שפחתו. מקיש עליו בקורנס ומחברו כדי שיחזור שם כלי עליו. דבשעת מריקה צריך שיהיה כלי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

בגד – that blood of a sin-offering was splattered on it and he went outside of the curtains/partitions of the Temple.
נטמא חוץ לקלעים – after he went out. But it is impossible to bring ritual defilement into the Temple courtyard.
קורעו – in its majority. And he is pure from ritual defilement.
ונכנס ומכבסו במקום קדוש – and even though the cloth that was defiled and he tore the majority of it, he still remains in his defilement according to the Rabbis until there doesn’t remain in its connection in order to be the width of a scarf hanging around the head and hanging down over the neck. Here it is permissible to bring it into the Temple courtyard in order to fulfill the Mitzvah of washing, since from the Torah, when most of it is torn, it is pure.
נוקבו – [makes a hole in it] to purify it from its defilement. And especially a hole that is lik the measurement of a small root, that through this it is pure from its defilement and it still is a utensil and fulfills the Mitzvah of breaking in the Temple, but if he made a large perforation, and it departed from being considered a utensil, it can no longer enter [the Temple] and one breaks it, for the All-Merciful stated (Leviticus 7:21): “An earthen vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken,’ at the time of breaking it will be a utensil, but this [object] at the time of breaking is not a utensil.
