Torn rubber stud on Schwalbe studded tires

I noticed a missing steel stud on my Schwalbe Ice Spiker. Pulled
a stud from the r ear (less critical) tire and reinserted it in the front tire.

The i noticed that the rubber stud where i inserted the metal stud was half ripped out.
It tore at the level of the base of the rubber stud. Was it when i inserted or before, i dont know.

I rode some bumpy ice with frozen bike tracks which was quite bumpy the last ride day before i noticed
the missing stud.

So: has this happened to other before. Is it common

I will try to reglue with aqua seal, seam steal or silicon. Anyone tried this before.
I doubt it will hold.

I will interchange the front damaged tire with the rear one.

See picture (not so good) On Second picture the damaged one is above
the one in the center of the picture
