You would need some very fine tools to take this apart and install the new pins, once you have fresh metal in there solder the wiring harness to it.
I repaired my antenna wiring plug like that - but I had a snipped off connector lying in my toolbox, I undid the connector and extracted a couple of pins with wires. Look up some articles for it. If this connector is the round pin type you are in luck, they are very easy to repair. My antenna connector had the miniature flat pins that modern MB have and are much more involved.
It looks like water has done some bad there, find the source of the leak or you might be looking at rust problems soon.

So if I muck it up cleaning it, it's not a lost cause? Good to know, thanks! I do computer work, so I have the fine tools, and I was thinking that the connector looks an awful lot like some 4 pin computer wiring hardware...
I don't know if it's leaking so much as got really melty. What you're seeing as rust seems to be more...char. Slight to moderate singing. lol The thick black wire the previous owner installed for some accessory that's no longer with the car is melted through the padding. What looks like water drops are melted plastic. That sucker got HOT. I took the cover off that wiring case, and fortunately nothing in there melted.
