Doable, but requires experience, skill and the right tools. Not really one for an amateur unless you’re a quick learner with at least a basic understanding of engineering principles.
Ideal tools; Fibreglass pencil, magnifying headset, temperature controlled soldering iron with a micro tip, needlenose pliers, ceramic tweezers, enamelled motor wire, good solder and flux, 2 part epoxy and appropriate tools, and a lot of patience.
Take the laquer off the copper tracks leading to the mutilated connections with the fibreglass pencil, and tin the exposed copper. Place the replacement connector and tin it’s pins. Cut appropriate lengths of enamelled wire, strip enamel off ends with fibreglass pencil and tin. Bend wire where necessary with needlenose pliers, hold in place with ceramic tweezers, and solder to bridge the broken tracks. Be careful not to short pins together with solder, or the next step can end badly…
When that’s done, carefully test the device to ensure connector throughput and resolder where appropriate. When tested working, apply thin coating of thoroughly mixed epoxy over the solder bridges and connector, being exceptionally careful not to get epoxy in the connector. (Silicone dummy plugs can be helpful here).
