I really don't understand what's so hard about this. Koichi was worthy and Josuke did not "heal" him. Crazy Diamond did not remove the Stand Virus from Koichi's body. The Virus always insta-kills the person, if they aren't worthy enough. If Koichi wasn't worthy, he would have died back in Nijimura part X (whatever the chapter is) because, as I, and Araki himself said, the Virus kills normal people. Echoes ACT 0 (Egg form) is just a representation of Koichi's growth as a character. He started off as a cowardly kid and grew into a brave one (as well as his Stand).

Koichi was always worthy of being a Stand User and possessing a Stand. Please do not spread misinformation.
