If the rock did in fact dinner plate and or is fractured, does everyone understand that a glue in is not going to make that siuation better?
If the rock is bad then a bolt needs to be relocated.
Bad rock is bad rock. There is not a fastener out there that can fix that.

With more of the bolt exposed and unsupported it will create a lot more torque and thus put a lot more force on the remaining rock. Even if what is left looks solid it may fracture with this extra load. Good call replacing it.

Of course... isn't this common sense?
