See if you can pick that pin out it looks like its still there from the picture. and if you can put something behind it like quick steel or something so you can mold the shape of the socket then bend the pin into in it might work.

Cant tell if the pin is just pushed in there or broken off.

Hmm maybe a close up might help?

I say if you have an old sata power connector or something with a similar pin, I say clean up damage part and fill with quick steel (use toothpick to mold)and put the tiniest bit of solder on the top of existing pin and place new pin on top and cross your fingers you might have a working card again
