[NAFEX] Apple Tree Girdling

Well, the snow is finally melting away from the bases of my apple  
trees enough that I can see just how terrible the mice were this  
winter.  Some trees are goners without a doubt, but some are 70-90%  
girdled, and I am wondering if these will have what they need to pull  
through and grow or should I graft them completely over?
All trees are on Dwarf Rootstock (M9, G16, B9) and are going into 4th  
or 5th leaf.
Any helpful experience to be shared?
