and the reality is that the wire is broken too close to the socket to do anything.
the easy/standard fix is to replace the socket.

if one was in desperate need to retain the original oem socket for nostalgia and hotrod originality street cred, it would require a depinning tool, a crimper, and a replacement crimp. the depinning tool and crimper alone are going to run about $50, about twice the cost of the replacement socket.
