Never seen a successful repair of this problem. I agree in punching up from the bottom of the board, as in Bert's example. Since you know your stance, my strategy for distributing the load would be to use multiple bolts. In any case, start working odd jobs and saving for a new board, because this type of repair might last for a season or maybe only for one ride, you never know. If the other inserts are OK, I might agree with moving the stance. I've solved the problem before by moving my stance, but on some boards if one insert goes bad then they all do.
