I prefer to CA bridge pins without strings to prevent
contact with the string and buildup of CA in places hard to
get to.

I will do it on my current project before stringing begins.

I consider it important that the CA be allowed to work
itself down to the bottom of the pin hole and then rise to
the top of the bridge thereby filling the hole entirely and
holding the full length of the pin in the hole.  If you have
a miniscus ring stand for a few seconds without diminishing
you know the hole is fully filled then use a tissue corner
to wick up the excess.  Otherwise you may not get the full
benefit of the CA project.

On the Nordska I would remove an offending string and see
what is under it

Also check bearing, side bearing, crown and string
termination.
