Sadly this is not an easy fix :-(

The socket is mounted on the logic board and you'll need to fully remove it to even have a chance of replacing it. This is a job for someone with microsodering skills and the needed parts.

Frankly, I would look for a USB DAC unit as the cheaper way around this. Here's one example: AudioEngine D3

The last option here is to replace the logic board.
