When transferring executables with Kermit-32, you need to set file type fixed.

Another alternative is to upload the hexified version of kermit and the
dehex program. This can be done in text mode.
I recently had to bootstrap a system by uploading the hexified version of
KERMIT-32 with MS-DOS Kermit's TRANSMIT command (C-Kermit is too large for
this to work reliably; I did try) and then use KERMIT-32 to upload the hexified
version of C-Kermit.
FWIW, although KERMIT-32 is old, it is also a lot lighter on the system than
C-Kermit; that's the primary reason I still keep it hanging around on my
systems (ranging from VAX 2000s to 4000/90s).
