My port also got wallered out but it’s a very easy swap. 2 case screws, pop off the back, undo 2 more screws to remove the USB/audio jack assrmbly and swap in the new one. No glue, no kamikaze springs, no muss, no fuss.
Its a $5(ish) part plus shipping from iFixIt, and took me 20 minutes. I replaced the battery too, sonce I was already in there with the back off. Also an easy swap.
