In fact you could pull the pin out and it would be fine, unless someone drove a tractor into the tower.

There is no tension on a pier pin, only shear, and hopefully not much
if the tower is plumb and the guy tensions are equal.  The only
purpose of an adhesive in this application is to keep someone from
pulling the pin out. Otherwise epoxy adds nothing to the structural
integrity. To illustrate the point (I don't recommend doing this) you
could drop it in the hole and tack weld it to the tower base only and
you would accomplish the goal.
