If it's only an intermittent connection, then maybe it's possible to replace it. When the connector is torn out, then usually the copper traces have been broken and it requires a bit more surgery to get it working. I usually need the stereo microscope at work to do that kind of repair.

There are also magnetic adapters that might extend the lifetime of a connector, but that's only before it starts to go bad. And the adapter usually prevents any port cover from closing, so water resistance suffers.
