As clearly stated originally I was observing from a distance. I was too far away to be able to see if it was an expansion or glue in. In my experience when a bolt is 'that' loose (rather than just spinning) it's usually due to glue failure.

I could discern he was able to pull the bolt outwards (and it was loose) but didn't see it come out of the hole.
