    You mean the header pin on the board snapped off?

    Yes, maybe a sewing needle or something similar.

    I've never seen a "repair" for the header pins other than replacing them or the entire connector. I think you will have to replace the whole thing.

    Go to GPE and see what you need.

    Quoted from Billc479:

    Yeah, only good option is to replace them with a new header. If they were all adjacent you might be able to get away with only replacing those three but why bother trying to cut them off?
