I have the M97Xe and the glue came loose just like the OP. I did the super glue thing and replaced the old stylus with a JICO Boron SAS. I'm using it with a Fluance 85. I aligned the cartridge with a Technics alignment tool which doesn't depend on the cartridge body but the cantilever for alignment. When it was first fitted it was extremely harsh and peaky in the 4K-8K region. But after about 72 hrs of play it has evened out nicely. It doesn't sound like the old 97N stylus. In fact it is very flat and uncolored which is what I prefer. I also have a Ortofon 2M blue which is rather bright compared to the M97x SAS.
