I tried fixing the broken pin with a drop of solder then slowly shaping it with sandpaper...
I clearly lack years of soldering to achieve this cleanly. I also miss good eyes: it's too small for my eyes...
It was hard not to create a short-circuit, looks like the board right under the + pin is connected to 0V so if the solder drop is a tad too long it easily touch the board creating a short circuit. Added a patch of tape between +5V and the board to ensure they don't touch even after pressing the battery hard against it.
It works!
