When the enemy you fight has the ability to absorb chakra, the best thing to do is not feed it. Feeding it Sage Chakra would still feed it chakra, which would allow it to get closer to the explosion threshold. Besides Sumire even said she can explode it on command, so if it was starting to become frog-like she'd just detonate it.

Secondly, we don't know what the Nue exactly is. Is it a spirit? Because i don't think spirits can turn to stone.
