It cut through Gaara's defense just fine, its just that the sand was repairing the whole, trapping Sasuke's hand. Its quite possible Chidori will be able to break Kaiten, and on the contrary, Sasuke got a hell of a lot faster with curse seal. Look at the fight between Naruto and him. The reason Chidori was countered was because it was Itachi, and if I remember, he had Sharingan on. We learned that Itachi is insanely fast and can perform hand seals so fast that Kakashi can barely catch them. Post time jump Neji is a whole new field, but now you are going to have to consider post time jump sasuke (2 and a half years of training with Oro) .
