Re: Restoration?
Theoretically, yes, we should seek to restore. However, when a man no longer meets the qualifications of a bishop after having fallen, it makes it difficult for him to be restored to the same position. This may not always be the case, though - but there are always natural consequences that no one can change.

There aren't any buts about this topic according to the scriptures already provided in this thread.
Still, give me an example of a theoretical situation where a Bishop can find himself in where he simply can't be restored.

Why insist on putting him back in a position he obviously couldn't handle well in the first place? To whom much is given, much is required.

No scripture so far speaks of restoring someone to a position. They were all about restoring a saint spiritually

Re: Restoration?
Restoration to a position of trust and authority, when you betrayed that trust and authority, is another issue than spiritual restoration
