No, that is exactly the right thing to do. Normally you won't have to leave him in there very long. The skin should rub off on the paper towels easily what it rehydrates enough and softens up. Normally (not always, but usually) that "stuck shed" syndrome is a sign of developing hydration problems. If he does it again, I would re-evaluate and adjust humidity levels in his cage, make sure he is drinking water from his bowl, etc. I've had snakes that would not drink from their water bowl, I changed to a different bowl ( a little bigger, a little shallower, whatever) and they would start drinking from the new one. Go figure...
