Spider Cracks in Window Glass

My aft window glass on my RV-14A has a series of screws that secure the forward edge of the glass to the roll brace. Two of the screws have spider cracks in the plexiglass around the screw hole. I am considering replacing the window but it is rather costly. Is there a way of fixing the spider cracks around the screws?

Mine did the same thing. Van's originally had you use Loctite on the screws but quickly addressed this mistake with a revision. I knew about the revision but forgot about it and didn't revise my manual so you guessed it I installed the screws with Loctite. I replaced the window and installed new screws and the second one has small cracks. I have a third window but have yet to replace it as the cracks are very small this time and not changing , I'm keeping a close eye on them for the time being.
Any chance Loctite was used on yours?
