Bent? Cable ripped out?

Bottom line is - Its just a card that is easy to remove and replace. Open box and remove - Hit web for best price near by ya.

Bent pins are easy to fix IF you no someone with dental tools.

There are two options. Either the VGA port is located on your mainboard, then you have an integrated graphics card that isn't really that good and you can just buy a 30 bucks GPU and put it in an expansion slot which will give you an additional port and you can just not use the old VGA port any longer. Disable integrated GPU in BIOS to avoid weird boot time behaviour.

The other option is u already got an (awesome?) graphics card that is already in an expansion slot, then it depends on how good you are with a soldering gun. Fix connector or replace the whole thing.

If it's just crippled pins, you can straighten them out with small tweezers. [disregard that I suck cocks and forgot the VGA port is female]

Good luck!
