Yes, the port can be replaced, but it will cost you, as Microsoft doesn’t sell parts for this device and used a proprietary mini displayport connector (2 rows of 10 pins vs 2x 6+4pins sold by mouser/digikey). Only option that i found, was to pull a port from a donor board. Cheapest compatible board was $50 so not the most cost effective repair but i already got the bad connector off, using low melt solder, so might as well finish the job and not gimp this device. Hope this info helps someone, just very surprised that parts were not available.
