What I am trying to figure out, is about three questions. Are the ends of the joist sitting on the concrete or do they have to be supported in order to remove the bad timber. Or is the timber thick enough and enough left to machine away all the bad stuff and fix it up. From the inside it looks like there is a 2x? under the timber.
Drilling a hole thru the center will NOT weakin it, we shouldn't need the bigger hole now that you can see in from the basement.
Side note, the grayish powder on the shiplap in your first photo today and on the underside of the floor sheeting in your last photo looks like mold and will have to be looked at too.
