You need one additional guy grip.
Attach the new grip a few feet above the bottom grip on the guy wire.
Use a come-along to take up tension on the guy wire and take off the old
grip and move it down a few inches. Repeat as needed.
Note that guy grips are rated for a limited number of attach/remove
cycles. I think it is typically 3. It would be worth it to buy three
new ones.

I have one set of guys on my 60 ft tower where the two turnbuckles for the mid
and top guys are about at their maximum limit. There is maybe an inch of thread
left to make adjustments on each of the rods. I really need to let out a bit
more and tighten up the other two sets of guys to get the tower perfectly
vertical.
How far out can one safely open up the turnbuckle adjustments?
Of course I can re-install a couple new guy grips a bit farther out on the EHS, and that
would allow me to close up the turnbuckles, but I’m investigating another option.
Anyone see any problem with turning out the screw-in guy anchor on the affected set of guys
perhaps one turn? It’s a five foot anchor and it is in pretty far already (about 6
inches extending from the ground). Just unscrewing the guy anchor one turn will probably
give me the slack I need in the one set of guys without having to open up the turnbuckle to
where I have almost no threads left in the adjusting rods.
