Stefan,

If the terminal bud has formed, it means that the sap flow has stopped.

In order to get callusing of the bud in its new site, you want actively growing
stock.

One of the tips the accomplished grafters gave me when teaching me to do greenwood budding of nut trees, in July/Aug, was to prune out the terminal bud - I'm presuming to remove apical dominance and re-institute sapflow/growth, as referenced above.
