Well,
In a pinch I would solder it the best you can, liquid electrical tape and go with it, my OCD probably wouldn’t allow it for me, most of those have some way to get the other end out with a small screwdriver or tiny pick tool but can be a pain in the arse. It looks kinda green so the corrosion could go to the very end but I can’t see the other end, what plug is this??

Yeah you can get that out. But imho you're best off to do so, make sure continuiity, fix, heat shrink, and put back in. Replacing the metal (pin or slot) onto said wire is a pain IFF you have them, and the special tool.

You can buy online new O2 plug connector with a pig tail for easy wire connections. I'd get a razor knife and cut off the insulation, solder the partially cut through wires for conductivity and strength, then liquid tape cover the exposed soldered wire.
