How did it work out for you?
Just broke one of mine and I am losing my ****.. Did the glue work? I suppose I am calling jewelers tomorrow..
Another member has suggested to use a scalpel blade or box cutter and try to dig into the side of the pin ,(if any is sticking up). You might be able to slowly pull up and turn at the same time to lift it.
Yeah well of course my custom cables sheered off almost completely flat. I was thinking of solder to other set of good pins to the broken ones and hoping for the best although I will have to use a low wattage for this so I dont melt the casing connector.
I don't think solder will hold, unfortunately but you can try.
I would take it to a jeweler first though and get his opinion. if they do have a solution please report back and let us know, as this is a problem many members experience without many options other than reshelling.

This is what the computer club kids are using
Give it a try, hopefully the pin metal is softer than the drill bit!
