    No is my vote. I'd be surprised if that circuit provided enough current to light the LED with that thin wire.

    Solder wick works well for fixing through holes. I use the widest one I can fit in with the lead of the part, which normally is the width of the traces leading to the feedthrough on both sides of the board.

    Here is a good video on repairing them correctly. You would have to have difference sizes of eyelets and different size/type of pads and traces depending on how bad the damage is. There are different repair kits available online.
