Tomato Plant Worked it's way to the Surface?

Can you replant deeper without issue, or just let it be?

I usually plant about 8" deep, but the wind early spring has been stiff and multi-directional. The plants on the west side seemed to have gotten the brunt, as two of them have worked their way up and now do not seem adequately anchored (although growing fine).

Everytime the wind blows the plants brace up against the TTC and have an unearthed bump at the root. I do plan on mulching when the weather heats up. I repack the soil, but soil is a loose composite for good drainage; and it works loose again.

Will the plant at this stage formulate new root growth if I bury it deeper, or maybe handing the plant at this stage would be a dumb move. Can't say I have every"replanted" a tomato plant.
