I've hacked back (sometimes pruned) many elderberries and have yet to find a way that will kill these bushes!!! they just keep coming back for more with many more stems!
Mind you one will get some roundup this year as it will have to go!

You will have great difficulty in causing any harm. Cut it back as much
as you want, doesn't even seem to mind when in the year you do it. I've
cut them down to about 6" from 6', and they still grow back. They are
very tolerant of pruning.
