uh you resolder the occulded pins the same way you solder occluded pins on say a BGA. With a heat and the right paste type. Its a bit tricky but should be doable. That said I like the framework solution better - hust protect the usb-c ports by adding a short extension.

Well you don't because there is a row of pads stuck to the bottom of the connector which is torn off the board. You can only resolder and patch up the other row on the end of the connector body. The row that is torn off the board will never work again.

Also you may be lucky if it can do power delivery after that. You would be really lucky if it still works as USB hole and you'd be blessed if TB works over it after. They are pretty much transmission lines not DC.
