I’m not a tire expert but I do have Compass tires on 4 bikes and run 28 c tubies on the fifth. If it was me I doubt I’d run it. But let me say that I had a very similar tire destruction running Marathon Supremes commuting through the SE warehouse district in Portland. It lead me to adopt really stiff and slow tires like the Marathon Plus. I was shocked when I took them off just how heavy they are. And crazy stiff.
I’d just replace it and hope for better luck. Run a boot and tube till then.
