Well, if you can't butterfly it, then you've got about 0% chance of fixing it. So yeah, grab a new one. But dayum, they're expensive on Amazon. I saw new ones on eBay for a lot cheaper - NIB.

Save the old one. Some day when you've got the tools, you can put a metal gear in it. Not only will it be cheaper than replacing it, but you'd end up with an indestructible Rough Cut that you can slam-fire till the cows come home.
