Belt breaks and now runs rough starting from stop.

I can see if the belt breaks, the movable variator face might be able to move towards the drive pulley face enough for the rollers to move around or may be even fall out but not sure how a person replacing the belt could do that.

The rollers are bigger in diameter than they are wide so they can only sit down in the roller channels one way. I tried putting a roller rotated 90 degrees in the channel and it just sits on top and won't drop down in any position at all. The roller would ride so high that it would be really tough to get the belt on and if it could be done, the belt would be forced into the outer most edge for the drive pulley.
