Not sure about your last statement,  seems to indicate the earlier (previous) kernel was causing the problems (failed to open card), and newer (new) kernel did not cause problems?

I should leave this to others more experienced to comment as I don't have a lot of experience with this. But you might be better placed changing the grub boot order to just boot using the earlier version kernel that worked until whatever issues are sorted?

But ignoring all that, yes my understanding is that using grub boot manager to boot using the earlier version kernel and then sudo apt-get purge (or use remove as you indicated, don't think it matters greatly which) with appropriate values for your later version kernel would remove that later version kernel.

Not sure if you would then need to also run sudo update-grub as well.

But after that it should then keep booting using the earlier version kernel.
