I'm still a little surprised I can't easily get chip-only credit cards that have no magnetic strip on the rear, but rather have a backup card that has a strip, and use chip/tap for everything else.

Could always cut out the chip and place it on another recipient card. Nobody looks at the card for chip+pin transactions, but you’ll lose “tap” payment ability. I suppose you could get an “associate card” and destructively disable the chip and magstripe to accomplish your goal.

  Would a good rubbing with a rare earth magnet clear the magstripe?

You could always erase the stripe with a magnet.

Just run a powerful magnet over the stripe a few times.
