It's good that you are visualizing the procedure and anticipating possible problems.
There really are some advantages to this design, and to using a flying saucer platform. In this instance, it is atmospheric friction that is causing heating, and the rotating hull surface is backed by counter-rotating rings for atmospheric thrust.
If the heat generated by entry friction cannot be dissipated by radiation alone, the air-movement rings will be pushing the hot air around and using it for deceleration thrust, as well as providing cooling for the hull ablative ring.
