Should a suppressor, owned by a trust, be inadvertently destroyed, what is the procedure for having that item removed from the trust and the BATFE registry?

I think what you're looking for his in here: https://www.smallarmsreview.com/disp...darticles=3825
Same article on authors' legal web site (they are both attorneys): https://www.ficarettalegal.com/remov...-firearms-act/
Be sure to document the destruction itself (pictures, before & after, etc.). Make sure pics include serial number.

D. SILENCERS
The NFA’s definition of “firearm” includes any silencer, as defined in the GCA, 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(24). The GCA defines “firearm silencer” and “firearm muffler” to include “any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or silencer muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication.” Accordingly, to remove a silencer from the NFA, every baffle, wipe, and other component must be melted, crushed or otherwise destroyed. ATF advises in the National Firearms Act Handbook, ATF e-Publication 5320.8. section 2.5.1 (available on ATF’s website at www.atf.gov) that a silencer may be destroyed by completely severing each component by means of a cutting torch that has a tip of sufficient size to displace at least one-quarter inch of material at each cut location. Outer tubes of a silencer may be destroyed by crushing them flat in lieu of cutting with a torch.

Could it be fixed with gorilla glue
Why would someone want to destroy a suppressor?
