I put some (allegedly) pressure treated posts into postcrete about five years ago, and I'm surprised (shocked) just how decayed they have become. See picture
Is there a remedy that would prevent me having to dig them all out and replace them? If I did, I think I'd flatten the surface of the postcrete with a concrete pad and then use a bolt down metal shoe to hold replacement posts above ground level.
What is the best solution?

A concrete fence spur would be best if you want to leave post there:
