So I cleared out the /storage/core mount point. It quickly fills up again, though. It's already at 25% again. Either way I still cannot login. It is most likely the time thing. If I change it back to the original time(not sure what it was at this point) what will happen?
If you think rebuilding a new VCSA VM is the best possible way, just say so.
side note: backup database from /storage/db ?
