I used a simple Switch function to replace the leading digit with a 19 or 20 depending on the represented year. This allowed me to create a recognisable date format where I could then use the DateTime tool to convert.:
switch(left([date],1),null(),"0","19","1","20")+
substring([date],1,6)
switch(left([date],1),null(),"0","19","1","20")+
substring([date],1,6)
Simple.
Saw a few people doing it in one formula tool. Figured I'd try as well. Hopefully I didn't steal the same formula as someone.

DateTimeParse(IF Left([date],1)="1"
THEN REGEX_Replace([date],"(^1)","20")
ELSE REGEX_Replace([date], "(^0)","19")
ENDIF,"%y%m%d")
