Sooner or later, Gaara would transform anyway, even if after being sufficiently beaten in his base form. It wasn't Chidori that impeded the transformation but rather the sign of Gaara's blood which was basically the first time he was injured that way and thus brought him to a state of shock. The next 2 Chidori hits of Sasuke to half-transformed Gaara didn't hinter the progress in any way.
