The purpose of the tensioner is to make it a bit easier in adjusting the tension of the belt. In fact, once the belt is adjusted to the appropriate tension and the mounting bolts are then tightened to secure the compressor (or alternator, power steering pump, etc.) the tensioner bolt can then be loosened to remove potential undue stress on the tensioner bolt.

In other words the tensioner bolt is not necessary.

I would suggest checking the tension on the compressor belt and insuring that it's at the right tension. General rule of thumb is about 5mm. Some manuals indicate 1 to 3mm. Also, check belt condition.
