“bent” blue pin connector

[rgnmichael]

Hello, I want clarification whether I should or shouldn’t do this. So basically I want to know if I can straighten or replace my blue pin barrel. Its actually the “needle” inside the barrel that is slightly bent, and Is it possible to have a technician straighten it out for me again. I have a HP victus 15 laptop and it uses a 135 watt AC adapter 19.5 V.
