The easy way to fix it is desolder the one pin, and maybe the 1 or 2 next to it, cut the black plastic either side of the pins you are removing. Then carefully remove just those 2 or 3 pins. Replace that small section with a new piece. I've got a video going up this week on this exact subject.


You could of course replace the whole strip of pin header, but I tend to try and limit the amount of desoldering, heat and risk etc by just swapping a small section. More than 1 pin because you get more strength in a section of 2 or 3.
