Prevent Constantine X's mistakes (Or his reign)

This may seem a tad unfair to the old man, but the Byzantine Empire had a fair chance of beating the Seljuks until Constantine X disbanded those 50,000 Armenian troops from the frontier. Could he have been persuaded to act otherwise? If not, could he have been prevented from taking up the Purple at all? The answer to these questions may well decide the future of Byzantium and the Mediterranean.
