CA will not interact with epoxy, different types of plastic.  Provided
the epoxy is completely cured, usually 24 hours after mixing.

I would just top off the holes with the CA like you did /do on the other
part of the bridge.  The trick here is to use fresh thin CA with a real
small tip extension and apply CA to several hoes going back and forth
until the hole is completely filled and there is a meniscus that does
not shrink at the bass of the pin.  Use a tissue corner to wick up that
meniscus and allow several hours for the CA to cure (not a lot of
moisture deep inside that bridge).
