A trick I have used on male XLR connectors, and it would probably work
on others too, is to use a good old reliable wooden pencil with an
eraser on the end. Drill a hole in the eraser just big enough for the
male pin to be pushed into it with a bit of force. Push the pin in and
give the pencil a few turns, and the connector will look as good as
new. I haven't found a similar trick for female connectors.
