What is destroying sparkplugs in my engine?

Log it again and post up results. There's definitely still weirdness with cylinder two by looking at that plug. Combustion products seem to pass the threads on that plug more easily for some reason. I would scope it from the intake valve side, while the plug is out in order to inspect the plug hole where it enters the combustion chamber. I'm going to guess that the failed electrode earlier caused damage in the area around the hole where the plug protrudes. It looks a bit oily, too. That combined with the low compression may point to cracked or broken ring lands on the piston, possibly a result of that poor tune earlier. If that's the case, it will likely only get progressively worse in that cylinder. Monitor it with logs for a while to keep an eye on it.

well...
I think...you are right.
cause..I just forgot to post when I did leak down test.
all of cyl is ok..but.. when I did leak down test on cyl 2, there was leaky on spark plug hole.
I am a fool to forget that .

anyway what option should I have? replace the head?

Can I threadjack a bit and ask a noob question? You guys say you see aluminum on the plugs - where do you see that? Is it the lighter speckles on the ground electrode?

Sorry, just a noob to this kinda thing.

If there's a leak on cylinder 2 its most likely a ever so slightly bent valve or two from the broken electrode that previously broke off.

I think its time to take the head off and do a closer inspection

When you take it off you should be able to see where it was bouncing of the piston and head

Its the most likely thing that happen and thats why the spark plug colour is different to all the others

Could his crank hub have slipped?

It would throw a code if it did, if It did slip to far it would be bent valves and all
