Cut the plastic strip between the pins and remove each pin separately.
Then get a replacement connector from Elecraft or a local source and
install it on the bottom of the board.
If you had a vacuum desoldering unit or even a GC solder popper you
could probably remove it without damage. With a solder sucker -- maybe.
But the part is so cheap that it's not worthwhile doing this unless
you are in Antarctica and there will be no mail for six months.
