Channel Out on a Sansui SR 636 ~ Please Help!

I need some help.

Lost my right channel on a Sansui SR 636.

Looking at my head shell tonearm socket, it appears one of the pins has been pushed into the arm tube. Fixable?

I am having some difficulty loosen the set screw just pass the the tonearm socket. Its underneath and I can not get enough torque on it. I do not want to strip the screw. Do I need to remove the entire tonearm in order to get better access to the small set screw?

Thanks any help, suggestions, or thoughts you can provide.

I can only suggest to find some small screw or something similar that will fit in the hole and make contact with pushed in pin (if the pushed in pin is not loose inside). Other than that it is probably rather painful disassembly of the tonearm. It is questionable how much slack the wire has behind the pins, do you have to push wires in from the base of the tonearm to get some room to pull out the arm headshell connector (if it can be pulled out once you loosen the screw under). Never tried it on that tonearm.
 
Thanks. Does anyone know if that pin which appears pushed in maybe can be pushed back into place and secured in some way?

How do I get the set screw loose if it is underneath the arm and I just cant get a screwdriver in a good spot? Remove the tone arm required?

If I go this route with a new head shell connector, https://www.ebay.com/itm/334026220978 , how difficult is it to replace the tone arm wire? I have very average skills ;).

Thanks
