I'm not even sure that second way works. All we know is that Rumples name was disappearing from the dagger, the dagger itself was still there. And it is quite likely that, even had Rumple died, he could have been ressurected at the vault. I think the curse would still be there, just inactvie until some event occurred to ressurect the DO.

I'm just thinking out loud, but IF (and that's a big if) there is some way to break the curse once and for all, I feel confident that the information on that is documented, but very obscurely. It would take someone with Belle's specific research abilities to find it. and Someone with a strong desire to see that curse broken (which for different reasons describe both Belle and Rumple).
